An illegal border crossing chase that began last night south of Val Marie ended late this morning in Strathmore, Alta.

According to the Canadian Border Services Agency, a two-door Infiniti sports car damaged barriers and travelled through the ditch to avoid stopping at the crossing around 8:20 p.m. yesterday.

The Shaunavon RCMP made two attempts to stop the car on Highway 13 and Highway 37, but were unsuccessful as the vehicle continued westbound at extremely high speeds and no pursuit was initiated.

Around 1 a.m. the Redcliff RCMP say the vehicle travelled through Medicine Hat, Alta. at high speeds.

The chase came to an end this morning at 10 a.m. when Alberta RCMP arrested the suspect without incident in Strathmore, Alta. and the vehicle was seized.

As of now, no charges have been laid, and the investigation is ongoing.
