Charges have been approved against a man allegedly behind the steering wheel of a stolen vehicle.
Leonard Earl Prince, 41, faces one count each of dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, resisting arrest and possessing stolen property under $5,000.
Prince George RCMP said Prince was arrested late Thursday morning after the detachment's street crew spotted a vehicle reported stolen two days before going through an alleyway near the 4300 block of 1st Avenue.
"Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, however the driver made attempts to exit the alley, but was quickly surrounded by police," RCMP said. "The driver exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, but was apprehended a short distance away."
The vehicle had gone missing from a spot near the corner of 14th Avenue and Irwin Street shortly before 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
"A window was left down and the keys were left in it," RCMP said.
