Mounties in Stettler say they’ve arrested a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large.

It was at about 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday when Stettler RCMP attended a rural residence on Highway 601 in Stettler County where a stolen vehicle was being driven on the property.

Police say the driver of the vehicle revved the engine several times before backing up and crashing into another parked vehicle on the property before it was abandoned.

After Stettler RCMP asked for assistance from Stettler Integrated Traffic Unit, Bashaw RCMP and Red Deer Police Dog Service, the stolen truck was recovered and the driver was arrested inside a residence.
