A man who was released in Abbotsford for stealing a vehicle was arrested again, not even 24 hours later, for stealing a vehicle.
Abbotsford police said officers found a stolen Toyota 4Runner in the 2800-block of Victoria Street on March 25 at 6:15 p.m.
The plainclothes officers followed the stolen vehicle at a safe distance until it stopped in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way, police said.
