Quesnel RCMP say a patrolling officer observed a vehicle back on February 20th that had been reported stolen from Prince George.
He says the driver then noticed him and took off at a high rate of speed.
Police say the vehicle was located unoccupied a short time later on a dead end street in North Quesnel.
Officers set up containment in the area and called in a police dog for help.
RCMP say a suspect was located nearby hiding under a tarp inside an outbuilding.
