  • Man arrested for theft of logging truck

Mounties in Quesnel say they have arrested a man who was caught with a stolen logging truck, who then tried to escape on a stolen motorcycle.

Police say the truck, worth 65-thousand dollars, was taken early yesterday morning.

Officers say they spotted the truck on Highway 97 south of Quesnel, but by the time they caught up with the driver, he had already gotten off the truck and left on the motorcycle.

R-C-M-P from Quesnel and Williams Lake, as well as air and canine units, all pitched in to eventually capture a 29-year-old man who now faces charges.
