A short time later, Oyen RCMP located the Ford F-350 travelling on Township Road 310, police said.

Police said the driver of the Ford F-350 again attempted to evade police and drove through a field before fleeing on foot.

An extensive search for the suspect was conducted by police from multiple RCMP detachments, a canine unit and drones.

In the early morning hours of April 21, Oyen RCMP received information from multiple members of the public that they had seen a male in the Esther, Alta., area who matched the description of the suspect.

After another extensive search, Oyen RCMP located and arrested a 41-year-old male resident of Regina, Sask.

He was charged with fleeing police, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, driving prohibited and without a license and insurance. He also displayed an unauthorized license plate.

The individual was taken before a justice of the peace and remanded into custody.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday at the Alberta Court of Justice in Hanna, Alta.
