Drayton Valley man facing charges following police chase
A Drayton Valley man is facing multiple charges after fleeing police in a vehicle that was allegedly stolen during an armed robbery/car jacking on Highway 43 in Stony Plain.
It was just before 1 a.m. last Friday when Stony Plain RCMP responded to an armed robbery/ car jacking that occurred on Highway 43, where a citizen had his truck stolen from him. Two men demanded his wallet, cellphone, Ipad and his truck. The driver complied and the suspects fled in both the truck they were initially driving and the stolen truck.
The victim described the suspects as Caucasian in the age range of 20 – 30 years old and were driving a 2000s model GMC crew cab with a tidy tank in the back.
An alert was sent to all surrounding detachments to be aware of this incident, and to monitor for both the stolen truck and the suspect truck.
