Suspects run out of gas fleeing Innisfail Mounties in stolen truck

It’s a lot easier for police to catch suspects when their vehicle runs out of gas.

That’s exactly what happened early Thursday morning in Innisfail.

Mounties were patrolling 50 Street just before 3 a.m. when they noticed an older model black Ford truck with an expired plate.

Rather than pull over for police, the truck, which was stolen, sped away and was later spotted slowing down and swerving in the lane it was driving in. 

The vehicle exited the roadway and entered a farmer’s field where it stopped because it has run out of gas.
