RCMP say police dogs and a remote-controlled aircraft were used to track down a man wanted in connection to a string of rural Manitoba break-ins.
Police were already investigating break-ins at several properties in the Rural Municipality of Reynolds in early March when a suspicious vehicle, thought to be connected to the break-ins, was reported driving in the municipality on March 8.
An officer stopped the vehicle, but police say the driver got out and fled into a densely forested area nearby.
Police say officers secured the area while police dogs and a remotely-piloted aircraft were brought in to help search through the brush.
