Three people were arrested after a dramatic takedown on Friday afternoon at the Lansdowne Place mall in Peterborough as part of a firearms and drug investigation.

A man was taken by paramedics to Peterborough Regional Health Centre for treatment after being injured during the arrest, at about 3:20 p.m. near the High Street entrance of the mall.

A city police officer also suffered minor injuries and was treated, police said.

The injuries occurred after a car with two fleeing suspects collided with an undercover police vehicle driven by an on-duty officer, police said.

Police, including heavily armed officers from the emergency response team, canine unit and investigative services unit, took part in the arrests.

A car with side damage from the collision came to rest on a median in the mall parking lot near The Keg restaurant. Two trees were also knocked down.

A third person was also arrested in the investigation at the Kawartha Co-op townhouse complex on Lansdowne Street East.

City police are continuing their investigation but say there is no threat to public safety.

Police plan to release the identities of those arrested and the charges they will face at a later date.
