Hit and run accident ends in weapons charges

From HRPD:
7:40pm 15 Highfield Pk Dr, Dartmouth
A Honda Del Sol struck a parked vehicle in the area of 15 Highfield Pk Dr.  The male driver then switched places with his female passenger and they fled the scene. The accident was observed by an off duty Halifax Regional Police Officer who followed the suspect vehicle. This officer witnessed an item being thrown from the suspect vehicle on Woodland Ave. Marked patrol units responded and located the suspect vehicle in the Albro Lake Rd area. A short vehicle pursuit to Brule St (a dead end street) ensued, where the male and female occupants were taken into custody.
