Police say it’s a “miracle” no one was seriously injured after a man and woman led authorities on a pursuit in two stolen vehicles, driving the wrong way on city roads and ramming a Mountie’s vehicle east of Calgary.

The duo was eventually taken into RCMP custody outside a movie theatre at CrossIron Mills mall in Balzac on Wednesday afternoon. They’re facing numerous charges, including flight from police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

“Out of all of this, it’s a miracle nobody was seriously injured and no serious crashes occurred,” said RCMP Cpl. Curtis Peters.

The pursuit began Wednesday afternoon, when Turner Valley RCMP began following a stolen truck near Priddis.

The truck sped through a Tsuut’ina police traffic stop before continuing into Calgary city limits. At that point, Calgary police joined, along with a HAWCS helicopter.

Police say at some point, the pair split up: one continuing in the first stolen truck while the other followed in a second stolen vehicle.
