Woman Arrested After Multi-agency Police Chase Ends at Niagara Falls Casino

A high-speed chase that began with a fraud investigation in the Town of Niagara ended Thursday afternoon in the parking lot of the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino where a 36-year-old woman was taken into custody.

The incident began around 2:35pm when Town of Niagara Police were dispatched to a credit union on Military Road for reports of suspicious activity potentially linked to fraud. Upon arrival, an officer attempted to stop a white BMW SUV driven by the suspect. Instead of complying, the woman fled the scene prompting the pursuit.

The suspect initially headed north toward Lewiston before reversing course and speeding south into Niagara Falls. She weaved through city streets with more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles in pursuit. The chase ultimately concluded in the casino’s parking lot where officers surrounded the vehicle and arrested the driver without further incident.

Authorities say the woman is now facing multiple charges and investigators confirmed she also had an active non-extraditable warrant for fraud issued in Schenectady.

The pursuit involved a coordinated response from several law enforcement agencies including the Town of Niagara Police, New York State Police, Niagara County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Park Police, Niagara Falls Police, and the Lewiston Police Department K-9 Unit.

No injuries were reported during the pursuit and the investigation remains ongoing.
