The RNC has arrested 23-year-old Adam Whalen of St. John’s, wanted in connection to a vehicle theft investigation and police chase.
Police say Whalen was arrested without incident this afternoon in Conception Bay South.
The RNC made a public appeal yesterday for help in locating Whalen, after a pick-up, reported stolen from the Clarenville area, was spotted speeding on Columbus Drive early Tuesday morning. The driver failed to stop for police.
Officers attempted to block the truck in the area of Winter Place, but it slammed into some parked vehicles before getting away.
Whalen was held in custody pending a court appearance.
He’s facing a number of charges including flight from police, and dangerous operation of a vehicle.
Meanwhile, the investigation into a Mount Pearl shooting incident that occurred early yesterday morning continues.
