N.S. RCMP say they’ve stopped a man who allegedly went on a two-week crime spree
RCMP say the suspect stole two trucks, rammed a police car and fled officers before his arrest on Monday.
On Monday, Nova Scotia RCMP arrested a 29-year-old man, concluding a two-week crime spree involving thefts and driving offences across the province's southwest region.
The spree began October 20, 2026, in Middleton when the suspect allegedly shoplifted and fled in a stolen Ford F-150 truck.
During the spree, the man allegedly hit a Yarmouth business and stole fuel in Digby, rammed a police car in Nictaux on November 1, and stole another truck in Berwick on November 5.
After fleeing on foot into a cornfield in Lawrencetown on November 7, police apprehended the suspect, who now faces multiple charges including dangerous operation of a conveyance and flight from police.
Investigators seized the stolen truck, which had been painted multiple times in an apparent attempt to alter its appearance, according to The Canadian Press report published November 13, 2026.
