He said police made an immediate patrol and located the vehicle.

“While conducting the traffic stop, the driver attempted to run away on foot,’ said Cpl. Ryan.

He said after a very short foot chase, a 34-year-old East Hants woman was arrested for impaired driving and resisting arrest.

She is expected to appear in the courts at a later date.
