A Prince Albert K9 unit helped police officers arrest a man who fled after an attempted vehicle stop early on Tuesday.
At about 1 a.m., police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle.
The vehicle was equipped with an OnStar system, which can send notifications to a call centre about the vehicle’s condition, along with GPS coordinates. This is how officers were able to locate and disable the vehicle after the suspect did not stop.
The 20-year-old man ran away once the vehicle was no longer operable.
He was arrested a short time later with the help of a K9 unit.
The man is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle while being pursued by police and operating a motor vehicle that is dangerous to the public.
