Airdrie Rural RCMP responded to an alarming scene in Crossfield on Tuesday, November 29th.

Officers were dispatched after receiving reports of a large tanker truck trying to smash through the walls of the Mountain View Credit Union.

On their way to the scene, Airdrie Rural RCMP caught the vehicle heading South bound on Highway 2A.

When the driver refused to stop, he was chased onto the QE II where we drove through both South and North bound traffic.

The chase carried on through Carstairs and Olds, before the suspect crashed into a field near Bowden. He then took off on foot, but was taken down by police.

As it turns out, the male suspect had stolen the truck from Red Deer.
