Officers were dispatched to the scene of a motor vehicle collision at Maitland and Farnham roads around 3:30 p.m. and were advised the male driver had fled the scene on foot.

The male was located in a wooded area a short distance away and arrested.

Further investigation into the incident led to additional criminal and Highway Traffic Act charges against the man, who appeared for a weekend bail hearing.

Austin Allan James Lloyd, 27, was charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop after a collision, refusing to obey a breath demand, operation of a conveyance while impaired, assault a peace officer, mischief, possession of a controlled substance, driving a motor vehicle without a licence and failing to yield.

A 33-year-old female was arrested for failing to appear in court, failing to comply with probation and robbery. She was further charged with breaching probation and an undertaking.

A 35-year-old male, meanwhile, was arrested on a warrant for robbery. He was also charged with a further five counts involving firearms prohibitions, three counts of weapons dangerous and unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon.

Both were held for bail. Given the domestic nature of the initial call, the names of those facing charges will not be released.
