Stolen truck leads police on hours-long chase in east Calgary, Chestermere yyc
Police say they spotted a white 2006 GMC Sierra with a mismatched licence plate in the 900 block of 43rd Street S.E. around 3:40 p.m. Monday. Officers attempted to stop the truck, but it fled through a four-way stop east. Officers didn’t pursue the vehicle and requested assistance to track the vehicle from the air via CPS’s HAWCS unit.
“While in motion, a male passenger made his way into the bed of the truck and used a jerry can to refuel the truck. He re-entered the cab of the truck as it continued to flee with HAWCS following,” police said in a news release. At 7:30 p.m., police used “vehicle-based tactics” to finally stop the truck as it travelled west on 16th Avenue N.E. near 52nd Street N.E. Police arrested the driver and the two passengers.“These individuals drove in a manner that put the public at serious risk. In my mind, this type of incident is one of the most dangerous that the public and police can face.
