A situation one would think to find in a movie or television script involving an alarm, stolen fire truck and police dogs happened in southern Alberta over the weekend, leading to the arrest of a 25-year-old man.

According to RCMP, around 11:30 p.m. Saturday Vulcan RCMP responded to a commercial alarm. While on the road a responding officer saw two Champion fire trucks driving at a high speed without their emergency lights on. Officials say mounties attempted to stop the fire trucks without success.

RCMP Police Dog Services was called in and helped arrest the Peace River man, while officials say a second suspect has been identified.

Jaeden Glabb is facing a handful of charges including break and enter, possession of property obtained by crime and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Glabb has been remanded into custody.

Officers say both fire trucks were recovered and the investigation is ongoing.
