QUESNEL — Quesnel RCMP have recovered a stolen pickup truck following a serious collision in downtown Quesnel on Sunday afternoon and are reminding residents not to take the law into their own hands when they encounter suspected stolen property.
The brown Ford F-250 was reported stolen from a property on Pentland Crescent during the early morning hours of Oct. 30.
According to police, the stolen vehicle was spotted near the Kersley General Store on Nov. 1 by a member of the public. The witness then allegedly followed the truck at high speeds into downtown Quesnel. Shortly before 3 p.m., the stolen vehicle was involved in a serious collision with a Ford Focus at the intersection of Kinchant Street and Carson Avenue.
RCMP say they have identified the person they believe was driving the stolen truck and are actively searching for the suspect, who fled the scene following the crash. Police noted the man is known to them.
