A man was sentenced Tuesday to 87 days in jail after pleading guilty to being behind the wheel of a stolen pickup truck.
Raymond Jarrod Pruden-Collins was arrested on Monday when RCMP identified and pulled over a recently-stolen Ford F-250 in the 2100 block of Quince Street. The truck had gone missing from an Ospika Boulevard location on Sunday.
Police also found several knives of various sizes, a small quantity of heroin and drug paraphernalia in his possession.
Pruden-Collins was also sentenced to a concurrent term of 30 days in jail for failing to comply with an undertaking and to one year probation once he's finished his time in jail.
After noticing a spike this month in stolen Ford F-series pickup trucks, mostly range from model years 1995 to 2008, police have stepped up checks of the brand seen around the city.
