Mounties note, the description of the vehicle used by the suspect matched that of the stolen truck previously reported to police. The suspect left after being confronted. Workers then noticed another vehicle drive onto the lease site, and a male was seen driving a 3-wheeler that matched that description of the one that was reported as stolen. The 3-wheeler was located abandoned on the road and was recovered by police.
