They stated that the driver rammed police vehicles while trying to flee, leading to the arrest of four people: a 31-year-old man driving, and a 29-year-old woman and two 15-year-old girls as passengers. Both outlets reported that no injuries were sustained, but three police vehicles and the stolen Ford F350 were damaged. Sgt. Clay Kronebusch was quoted in both reports, stating that the three female passengers were released pending further investigation and the driver was being held in custody to appear before the courts later that day. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports from CTV News, Ckpg Today, and Castanet all focused on the arrest of four people following the ramming of police vehicles.
