A dangerous driver in Brampton is facing serious charges after ramming a police cruiser while trying to escape a traffic stop last week. On March 18th, around 11.45 a.m., near Boverd and Sun Forest drives, officers spotted a vehicle linked to a prohibited driver through an automated license plate reader. When they moved in, the driver took off in a reckless way, putting people at risk. The next morning around 8 a.m., near Sun Forest Drive in Wexford Road, police tracked down the same car and set up a quick plan to box it in. As cruises blocked the front, the driver threw it into reverse and slammed into the one behind, but officers still took him into custody without. Anyone getting hurt? This wasn't his first run-in with the law. Investigators tied him to three other cases where he fled from police. Each time driving in ways that endangered the public on busy roads. During the arrest, they found a replica firearm on the 34-year-old Brampton man, Iqbaldot.

Police expect more charges as the probe continues, and Canada's border services agency has opened an immigration review. They're urging anyone with tips to come forward to help wrap this up.
