A red Kia Sportage, along with the stolen truck, fled the scene and continued on a rural road outside of Beiseker.

RCMP officers with the Airdrie detachment later discovered both vehicles. That’s when RCMP began to pursue both vehicles, but the chase was called off due to public safety concerns.

The vehicles are still missing and no arrests have been made. Police are looking for a two male and one female suspect.
