A vehicle suspected stolen in Biggar has been recovered in Zealandia with the alleged driver facing several charges.  RCMP say it was the third of three vehicles stolen in Biggar Tuesday morning.
The chase took officers from Biggar and Rosetown south of Perdue and along highway 7 to Zealandia.

Police say a man who stopped the car and bolted was tracked down by a service dog and found in an outbuilding. RCMP recovered the other two stolen cars.

A number of break and enters and thefts were also reported to police within the same time frame and it is believed that these events may be connected to the stolen vehicles. RCMP also believe there were multiple people involved.

Biggar RCMP thank Arelee/Perdue and Surrounding Area’s Crime Stoppers, which is an internet-based rural crime watch partnership with Biggar RCMP. Police says a sighting of the third stolen vehicle had been reported to the group, and Biggar RCMP, within a few minutes of being posted to the crime watch site. This ultimately led to the recovery of that vehicle, and subsequently, the arrest of a person of interest.
