Two male suspects were arrested after a vehicle stolen from the Aylmer sector was apprehended by the Service de police de la Ville de Gatineau apprehended  in the Buckingham sector on June 11.

Shortly after 6 pm, a citizen reported his Honda CR-V stolen from a commercial parking lot in the Aylmer sector. The stolen vehicle was equipped with an independent tracking device, which allowed officers to locate the vehicle on Highway 50, heading toward Buckingham. 

The driver and passenger fled on foot when the police intercepted the vehicle on Buckingham Avenue. A short foot chase ensued until the two men were arrested by the police.

The men, aged 35 and 38, appeared before the Court of Québec. The investigation continues.
