RCMP have laid charges against a man in connection with a string of vehicle thefts in the Cochrane and Calgary areas.
On Feb. 21, a man was arrested following a brief foot chase by RCMP officers in the Fisher Avenue area of Cochrane.
A later investigation led to “charges in more than six stolen vehicle reports in the past month,” police said in a news release Thursday.
Police allege the man was “actively stealing” two or three cars a day and he would look for running, unattended vehicles.
