A man has been charged in connection to an incident involving a stolen vehicle in Lakeville, N.B.

Less than 30 minutes later, police located the vehicle, and followed it until the stolen truck entered a dead-end road in Lakeville.

According to police, the suspect tried to drive away, but he collided with two police cruisers before stopping.

On Sept. 23, Mason appeared virtually in Moncton Provincial Court and was charged with theft of a motor vehicle. Has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing Tuesday.
