A pair of suspects were arrested Tuesday morning after allegedly trying to evade police in a stolen pickup truck.
At about 9 a.m., and about four hours after receiving a report that a Ford F-250 had been stolen from a Nation Crescent home, RCMP said a truck matching the description was seen near Fifth Avenue and Highway 97.
By the time the officer was able to safely turn around, the vehicle was gone. But minutes later, RCMP were alerted to a collision near the Simon Fraser bridge and then another one near the entrance to the BCR Industrial site.
The occupants jumped out and at least one tried, unsuccessfully, to carjack another vehicle, according to RCMP. A 31 year old man and an 18 year old man were arrested shortly after and the pickup police said they were in was confirmed as the one stolen earlier in the day.
From start to finish, the apprehension took about 10 minutes, and no injuries were reported, RCMP said.
