Halton police say they are still looking for a man who they say is a dangerous individual.
Officers were originally searching the area of New Street and Dynes Road on Friday for 41-year-old Tom Shade, who, at the time, police believed to be travelling on foot.
A search of the surrounding area led authorities to locate a firearm and as of Saturday, police say they no longer believe there to be any imminent danger to the public.
“We know we will find him,” Halton police Chief Stephen Tanner said. “I have no reason to believe he is going to be breaking into people’s homes or injuring a member of the public but he is a dangerous person so we always have to air on the side of caution.”
Police say Shade is facing charges related to dangerous driving, flight from police, as well as failure to stop after an accident.
Police have not released any details of the collision and if there were any injuries.
If you see Shade you should immediately call 911.
