Innisfail RCMP catch man driving stolen vehicle in drive-thru

Jul 31, 2017 | 4:29 PM

A resident of Red Deer County was put in cuffs late last week before he could enjoy his fast food order.

On Friday at around 1 p.m., Innisfail Mounties observed a suspicious vehicle in a drive-thru, which they later determined to be stolen out of of Red Deer.

Members told the driver he was under arrest, but the male continued through anyway before driving over a spike belt police has deployed at the drive-thru’s exit.

The vehicle continued a short distance before colliding with a fence and a power box. The male fled on foot and Mounties arrested him a half hour later a short distance away.
