A 21-year-old Âé¶čAV man was arrested in a stolen vehicle from West Âé¶čAV, early this morning (Dec. 17).
Âé¶čAV RCMP say the man, who refused to cooperate with police, was taken into custody just before 5:30 a.m.
Before his arrest, police were told a black Subaru Legacy had been stolen from outside a West Âé¶čAV home. Just minutes later a Âé¶čAV RCMP officer spotted the stolen vehicle traveling east near Gordon Drive. The man was stopped and taken into custody by two officers near Banks Road.
âThe driver, and sole occupant refused to cooperate with police direction and was removed from the vehicle and arrested,â said RCMP Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy in a statement Dec. 17 morning.
Upon his arrest police discovered the 21-year-old also had two outstanding warrants, and will be held in custody until court.
RCMP say the investigation is ongoing, and charges against the man are pending.
