On July 18, 2022, just before 9:00 a.m., Jasper RCMP received a report of a stolen flat deck trailer from the Stan Wright Industrial Park in Jasper townsite. Moments later, the same trailer was spotted east of Town on Highway 16.
Jasper RCMP located the trailer on Highway 16, which was being pulled by a Ford pickup truck and had a Dodge pickup truck loaded onto the trailer. A vehicle stop was initiated and the driver of the pickup truck pulled over and then immediately reversed into the police motor vehicle. The driver fled eastbound on Highway 16.
Hinton RCMP located the suspect vehicle east of the Jasper National Park gates, where the driver fled on police once again.
The trailer and Dodge pickup have since been located abandoned in two separate locations.
The Ford pickup truck and its occupants have yet to be located.
