Witnesses foil, catch attempted work site vehicle thieves
Two people attempting to steal a vehicle from a work site approximately 5 kilometres east of North Battleford Friday were stopped by witnesses after they got stuck while attempting to flee.
The incident occurred shortly after noon on Dec. 8 along Highway 40.
A 32-year-old male and a 37-year-old female both from Alberta attempted to escape the scene after they were interrupted by several witnesses during their attempted vehicle theft.
While attempting to escape in a vehicle, the male suspect became stuck in a ditch. The female also had to abandon a separate vehicle in her flee attempt after it became stuck in the snow.
