Cops seek tips on chase suspects
Fredericton police say driver put public at risk Sunday afternoon with dangerous conduct
The city police force is hoping members of the public can help identify a driver whose risky behaviour it says endangered people on Fredericton’s north side Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday, March 2, 2025, at approximately 4:20 p.m., (Fredericton police) officers attempted to stop a black Chevrolet Cobalt with a light bar affixed to the vehicle’s front in the parking lot of the Nashwaaksis Plaza located at 102 Main St. on Fredericton’s north side,” the force said in a news release Tuesday afternoon.
The car sported a stolen rear New Brunswick license plate of GIP 265, it said.
“When officers attempted to intercept the vehicle near Speedbumps Sports Bar, the vehicle fled from police driving dangerously, posing a significant risk to officers and members of the public in the vicinity,” the release said.
“These actions are criminal in nature, pose a risk to public safety and will not be tolerated.”
The investigation revealed the suspects - driver and passengers - have frequented Speedbumps in the past, and the police force is urging those individuals to come forward.
Police are also seeking information from the public, asking for tips on the identities of the driver and other occupants of the car, and the whereabouts of the vehicle.
Investigators are also interested in hearing from anyone who might have video footage of Sunday’s incident.
