Red Deer RCMP say it was back on July 25 when members were making patrols and observed an SUV that had been reported to police as stolen. At the time, it was being driven by an unknown male.

RCMP Police Dog Services deployed a tire deflation device and police followed the vehicle until it entered a ditch.

The male suspect is said to have exited the car and started running. With assistance from Blackfalds RCMP, the man was arrested shortly thereafter.
