A man suspected of trying to evade police in a stolen pickup truck has been charged.

Karl Robert Boreland, 31, faces counts of theft $5,000 or under and possession of stolen property, according to court records.

He was arrested Tuesday morning about four hours after the theft of a Ford F-250 pickup truck had been reported stolen from a Nation Crescent home.

RCMP spotted a pickup matching the description near Fifth Avenue and Highway 97.

Minutes later, police received multiple reports of a dangerous driver crossing the Simon Fraser Bridge and Boreland was apprehended near the entrance to the BCR Industrial site.

An 18 year old man was also arrested but had not been charged as of Wednesday.
