Suspect arrested in theft of police service vehicle

The Edmonton Police Service has arrested a male suspect in connection with the theft of a police service vehicle in north Edmonton this morning.

Edmonton Police Service officers responded to the area of 132 Avenue and 113A Street at approximately 5:30 a.m. today (Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014) when a female motorist reported she was approached and threatened by a male on foot. The motorist drove away and called police.


A Canine Unit located the suspect in the area. The male evaded officers and stole a police service vehicle, fleeing westbound on 132 Avenue.


The vehicle eventually proceeded eastbound on 137 Avenue, where it allegedly attempted to make a left-hand turn onto 113A Street. The vehicle struck a tree in the northeast corner of the intersection. The suspect was arrested and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.


The file is still under investigation and charges are pending.
