A 36-year-old from Birch River is facing a slew of charges after a crime spree in Swan River.
On July 17 at midnight, Swan River RCMP responded to a possible impaired driver at a business on Main Street. It was reported that a female in a new dark-coloured truck appeared impaired and she left the business travelling south.
When officers spotted the vehicle on 2nd Street South in Swan River, Jamie Audy fled at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was then located abandoned with extensive damage a short time later. Then just about two hours later at 2:05 a.m., the RCMP responded to the same business after the same female was spotted, but now in a new white truck. Audy abandoned the truck and fled and was not immediately found.
Later in the day, the RCMP did catch Audy and they determined that a business on Main Street had been broken into and the two vehicles had been stolen.
Audy is now charged with the following offences:
Flight from Police, Break and Enter, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime x2, Use of credit card Obtained by Crime, Theft of Truck x2, Mischief, Theft x3, and Fail to Comply x3.
