It was discovered that in the early hours, between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., the business had been broken into and several power tools were taken.
Video surveillance helped police identify a suspect, and officers spotted a suspect vehicle Sunday afternoon driving on Highway 7.
But when officers tried to stop the vehicle, the driver sped away, driving across a field and stopping near a wooded area. RCMP say the suspect then got out of the vehicle and ran into the woods.
