Two Prince George men arrested in Clearwater for evading arrest
CLEARWATER, B.C. — Two Prince George men have been taken into custody by Clearwater RCMP after attempting to evade police through several jurisdictions in a stolen vehicle.
At roughly 2:06 p.m. on Dec. 12, McBride RCMP attempted to stop a white Ford F-450 truck with the Alberta licence plate BBY0780, towing a jet boat along Highway 16 east. The truck drove away at high speeds and didn’t stop for police, RCMP say in a news release.
Due to public safety concerns, officers didn’t pursue the vehicle any further and neighbouring detachments were advised.
The Valemount RCMP weren’t successful in trying to assist near the junction of Highway 16 and Highway 5, as the vehicle headed toward the Clearwater area. A second vehicle stop was attempted near Valemount but the vehicle failed to stop and raced away again.
