At approximately 10:40 a.m. on December 22, the Windsor District RCMP SCEU, with assistance from the RCMP Emergency Response Team, Halifax District RCMP SCEU and the Annapolis District SCEU, attempted to arrest the man as he was returning to his vehicle in a parking lot off of Damascus Rd. in Bedford. The suspect fled on foot and was arrested shortly after without further incident.
The woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was also arrested nearby. Following the arrests, police searched a home in Dartmouth.
The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.
