A 54-year-old man is facing several charges after allegedly stealing a truck from a gas station on the west side of Grande Prairie. The Grande Prairie RCMP says they received a report of theft of a Ford pick-up in progress just after 4 a.m. on April 13th, when the owner of the vehicle had stopped at a gas station and came out to find someone attempting to steal their truck.
Authorities say the owner attempted to intervene, but was allegedly dragged a short distance before the suspect was able to escape with the vehicle. The owner of the truck was reportedly uninjured during the incident.
About an hour later the truck was located near Township Road 710 and Range Road 83A in a wooded area, and after a search of the area with the Grande Prairie RCMP Police Dog Services, the male suspect was arrested.
The 54-year-old British Columbia resident is facing charges of assault with a weapon, theft over $5,000, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Following a judicial hearing, Mcintosh was remanded into custody to later appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Grande Prairie May 7, 2025
