Two men have been arrest following a break and enter early Friday morning.
At around 3 AM, the RCMP received the call that a business on the 4500 block of Highway 97 had been entered, and that two men in a dark coloured pickup were stealing lumber from that property.
An officer arrived and attempted to pull over the vehicle which failed to comply as it exited the premises at a high rate of speed.
The suspects were then found fleeing the vehicle on foot near the John Hart Bridge, before being taken into custody with help from a Police Service dog.
27 year old Riley Eastman is being charged with Breaking and Entering, theft, and resisting arrest.
While 34 year old Michael Platt is facing additional charges of Flight, and Failure to Comply.
Lumber and tools were seized from the pickup, and the two men remain in custody until their court appearance at some point today.
