In two separate instances, police arrested a pair of men, each facing a plethora of charges.
According to RCMP officials, both situations happened on July 15th, with the first being sparked from officers spotting a truck believed to be stolen driving recklessly through the City of Grande Prairie. Police started surveillance of the truck and took the driver into custody a short time later. Following their investigation, police have charged a 28-year-old from Grande Prairie with charges connected to possession of stolen property, dangerous operation of a vehicle and failing to comply with a police order.
The 28-year-old has since been remanded into custody.
The same day, RCMP officials say police observed a suspect who had court orders at a home that was using a stolen truck. When police reportedly attempted a traffic stop, the truck fled at a high rate of speed; police did not pursue the truck because of public safety concerns. Officers are reported to have later located the 33-year-old man by Clairmont Lake, attempting to spray paint the stolen truck. He was taken into custody and also arrested for the nine warrants issued for him.
The Bezanson man is also facing numerous charges connected to the investigation, including flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle and possession of stolen property.
The 33-year-old has since been remanded into custody.
