Halifax Regional Police say two people will be in court at a later date after an incident on the peninsula over the weekend.
According to police, at about 3:30 a.m. on Saturday officers attempted to stop a vehicle with an expired licence plate in the area of Allan Street and Monastery Lane, near Quinpool Road.
Police say the driver didn’t stop and drove through the nearby Flynn Park to flee from the officers.
