26-year-old McAdam man not yet charged but has been remanded back to prison - RCMP
The Mounties have arrested a man they believe crashed a motorcycle last week and stole an ATV to flee the scene, and it turns out the suspect was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
The Keswick detachment of the RCMP issued a news release Nov. 21 with a photo of a suspect officers were hoping to identify who was wanted in an incident the day before.
“On Nov. 20, 2024, at approximately 12 p.m., members of the Keswick RCMP detachment responded to a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle where a man was ejected from the motorcycle on Route 640 near the intersection of Smith Road in Hanwell,” the release said.
“While police were headed to the scene, they were advised that the man, and sole occupant of the motorcycle, had fled from the scene, leaving the motorcycle behind and stole an ATV from a nearby residence.”
