Michael Lloyd Peterson was arrested by the Fredericton police on Monday morning following a high-speed chase in the city that resulted in damage to several private properties.

Peterson, 39, is a suspect in a local home invasion over the weekend and was also wanted on a Canada-wide warrant that was issued by Correctional Service Canada.

He is expected to appear in court this afternoon on a "multitude of charges," Fredericton Police said in a Facebook post.

Cameron says the suspect tried to get away in a Toyota SUV, driving through several residential properties in the Garden Creek neighbourhood, smashing some propane tanks in one yard, and ramming a police vehicle.

The chase ended on Springhill Road. "His vehicle got stuck, for [lack of] a better word, and then he fled on foot and then we apprehended him a short period of time later," Cameron said.

No one was injured, but there was "extensive property damage," according to a statement issued by police.

Cameron says some residents may not even know yet that their property was damaged because not everyone was home at the time of the chase.

Peterson was considered armed and dangerous by police. (Fredericton Police) The police had issued a statement earlier in the day that Peterson was wanted in connection with a break-and-enter that occurred at a north side house on Sunday afternoon. He is accused of using force against a woman, who was not injured, and theft.

Police had asked for the public's help in finding Peterson, but they did not want people contacting him directly.

"He is considered to be armed and dangerous and should not be approached," the statement said.

When that robbery occurred, Peterson is believed to have been driving a 2007 silver or grey Toyota FJ Cruiser with a white top. The sport utility vehicle has New Hampshire licence plates.
