Drayton Valley RCMP arrest man and recover stolen vehicle

Drayton Valley RCMP took a man into custody last week after recovering a stolen vehicle.

On March 4, a member on patrol spotted an older model white Dodge Ram being driven by a known offender. Further investigation revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen earlier out of Breton.

The driver was known to be prohibited from driving and was wanted for breaching a Conditional Sentence Order.

The known offender abandoned the vehicle after being confronted by the RCMP member and took off on foot, where police members pursued and caught him.
