The Saskatoon Police Service suspected a vehicle spotted at an intersection in the city’s Evergreen neighbourhood Thursday morning around 9:30 a.m. was stolen when they determined it was unregistered. While officers were conducting checks of the vehicle, the male driver took off on foot through multiple back yards in the area.

The Canine Unit began a track and about three hours later a suspect was found in the 600 block of Atton Crescent and arrested. The vehicle was confirmed to have been stolen.

A 40-year-old man is charged with Possession of Stolen Property Over $5000 and Obstructing a Police Officer.
