Two out-of-state women face numerous charges after leading police on a high-speed chase from Maine into Canada.

Police say they chased a car with 37-year-old Rachael Kennedy of Kansas and 31-year-old Rashidah Henry of Georgia after Kennedy tried to use a fake passport at a bank in Houlton.

Officers say the chase went north on I-95 at a high speed and continued through the U.S. port of entry into Canada.

Houlton police called off the chase at the border. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police then took over the search for the suspects and arrested them a few hours later after spotting their vehicle.

Kennedy and Henry were taken back to Maine, where police say Kennedy was charged with forgery and criminal attempted theft. Henry was charged with eluding an officer, criminal conspiracy, driving to endanger, and operating without a license.

Both are being held at the Aroostook County Jail. Bail was set at $7,000 cash for Kennedy and $5,000 cash for Henry.
