EDMONTON -- An impaired driver hijacked an Uber vehicle and crashed it into the Edmonton Remand Centre early Monday, according to police.

Officers received a report just after midnight that an Uber was carjacked by a passenger near 127 Street and Anthony Henday Drive.

Later, police got another report that a drunk driver crashed through the fence into a staff parking lot at the remand centre, close to where the carjacking occurred.

"Staff held the suspect until police arrived. He was confirmed to be the same individual involved in both incidents," Edmonton Police Service confirmed to CTV News Edmonton.

Ivan Hevia-Orio, 23, is facing charges of robbery, impaired operation, dangerous operation, and hit and run.

The remand centre is a facility that houses those awaiting trial.
