A bit more than two hours later, at 3:15 a.m., a security company reported a suspicious male in a pickup truck in a Rec Place Drive auto dealership. The suspect jumped out of the vehicle and fled across Highway 16 before police arrived. A service dog and handler were called in but were unable to find the suspect.
The suspect is described as a First Nations male, about 183 cm (6') tall and wearing a toque, black hoodie under an olive green ski jacket and dark pants.
A number of items stolen from the truck were recovered and returned to the owner.
