One man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a vehicle from a northeast Calgary home that saw the vehicle then hit multiple other vehicles and an electrical box, knocking out power to a large number of homes in the area.
Police said they were called to Savanna Landing in the community of Saddle Ridge just after 4 a.m. on Friday. They said officers arrived at the scene after someone called 911 to say he woke up to an intruder in his home who took the keys to his vehicle and then drove away in it.
Police said investigators believe the stolen vehicle hit at least four other vehicles when the driver tried to drive away from the area, and also struck an electrical box.
At 4:18 a.m., Enmax reported that about 255 homes were experiencing a power outage in the area, however, as of 7:40 a.m., only 10 homes remained without power.
Residents were asked to check their security cameras and to call them or Crime Stoppers if they have any images or information that could help with the investigation.
Charges are pending against the unidentified suspect.
