A 49-year-old Mount Pearl man is facing charges after a stolen van crashed into a business in Holyrood on the weekend.

RCMP in Holyrood received a call from the RNC shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday informing them of a stolen van which failed to stop for police in the metro region.

The van was last seen on Peacekeepers Way in CBS heading towards Holyrood.

RCMP located the vehicle in Holyrood and tried to stop it, but the driver sped off instead. Police did not pursue as it was in a residential area.

A short time later police located the van which had crashed into a business. David Power, who was not injured, was arrested at the scene and taken to the RCMP detachment for a drug evaluation.

He is now facing a list of charges including flight from police, dangerous driving, possession of stolen property, drug-impaired driving, and refusing to comply with a demand. Power is also facing charges laid by the RNC including theft of a vehicle, flight from police, and dangerous driving.
