Thermal Helicopter footage of longest police chase in Ontario

Not a dash cam, but video of dangerous driving from a helicopter. Some of you may be interested in this

A driver calls the 911 about a car trying to ram her off the road. She's instructed to drive towards the police station which results in a long chase with speeds reaching 237 km/h and the helicopter having trouble keeping up due to the head winds. Police from one municipality, gets assistance from the provincial police.

He’s charged with possession of cocaine, heroin and MDMA for the purposes of trafficking. He also faces charges for criminal harassment, racing a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a vehicle and driving while under suspension.

I live next to Durham Region, where this took place. I do my Costco shopping there. I never knew the Durham police force had such a helicopter with thermal imaging and apparently has had one since 2009. I have posted stories before about another police force in the Greater Toronto area, but this is a first.

Edit: Changed title from Canada to Ontario. Its the longest police chase for the province , and the second longest in the country. Clarification about other postings i have made from another police force.

Video shows Toronto police cruiser drive past vehicle heading in wrong direction

I can't find a youtube video on this one, just a link with the dash cam video at

https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/vi...-vehicle-heading-in-wrong-direction-1.3796166

A vehicle is driving with a police cruiser to his left in what appears to be a one way street when a vehicle driving in the opposite direction appears. The police cruiser doesn't seem to take notice and just continues on its way.

nobody ever said criminals are smart. probably only thinking about ground units and completely forgot that air units exist.
