A suspect is in custody and a stolen truck has been recovered following an eventful evening when a Drumheller resident followed his own vehicle taken from a yard in Drumheller to field near Strathmore.
Sometime around 10:00 p.m., Monday night, February 20, local business owner Lee Borsheim, from Performance Steam, began following a culprit who was driving away from Drumheller in his silver 2004 Ford F-350 Work truck license plate G74-525.
Borsheim followed the vehicle and updated the police with his location and eventually the police caught up and resumed the chase of the stolen truck.
On Tuesday morning, February 21, Strathmore RCMP had taken a suspect into custody and the truck has been recovered. The suspect is reported to be treated for dog bites from a canine unit employed during the arrest.
More details to follow as they become available.
