The suspect vehicles were observed at extremely high rates of speeds through areas of Okotoks and High River. A stolen 2010 Audi A4 subsequently crashed near an alleyway in the area of 3rd avenue and 18th street SE. A 17 year old Airdrie female was immediately taken into custody a short distance from the crash scene. A 22 year old male driver fled the scene on foot and broke into a nearby residence.
