Police track stolen truck with GPS to Saskatoon

Last Updated: Monday, February 9, 2009
In what may be a sign of things to come, Saskatoon police used global positioning system technology to locate a stolen truck on the weekend and arrested a suspect.

A man was arrested in connection to the stolen truck just before midnight on Saturday night, hours after the truck, which was equipped with GM's OnStar tracking system, was stolen in Prince Albert.

OnStar staff transmitted the location and direction of travel of the vehicle to the Saskatoon police.

Officers caught up with the truck in Saskatoon when it stopped near St. Paul's Hospital on the city's west side.

The driver was arrested without incident. Police believe a passenger in the truck left the area just before they arrived.

A man, 22, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, driving while prohibited, and breach of probation.

The man also had warrants for being unlawfully at large, police said. He's scheduled to appear in provincial court Monday.
