Suspect Flips Truck, Arrested at Golf Course

A man who allegedly stole a dump truck and crashed it, was arrested a short time later at Predator Ridge Golf Resort.

The truck was reportedly stolen this morning and then driven on Eastside Road at a high rate of speed before it flipped onto its side and lost its load of gravel.

“Prior to police arrival, witnesses advised the male suspect fled the area up a steep embankment toward the Predator Ridge Golf Course,” says RCMP Cst. Kelly Brett.

“Due to the thick forest like terrain, the RCMP Air Services Unit and the Police Service Dog were deployed to the area. The RCMP fixed wing plane responded and located the suspect male running through the 10th hole of the golf course, where he eventually grounded himself in an effort to hide from police.”
