A man in Alberta got arrested after allegedly trying to steal a skid steer from a construction site…
…while already driving a stolen skid steer.
Buddy was essentially running a heavy-equipment carpool for crime.
Police said he “attempted to flee.”
On a skid steer.
Nothing says Canadian criminal mastermind like escaping at the top speed of an aggressively motivated lawn chair.
The RCMP pursuit probably looked like:
“Dispatch, suspect is heading northbound at approximately… 11 km/h.”
“Copy that. Should we deploy spike strips?”
“Negative. Frank from Tim Hortons is walking faster.”
Meanwhile somewhere in rural Alberta, three dads watching this on Facebook Live immediately said:
“Honestly? Pretty decent bucket control though.”
This is why Canadians can’t have organized crime.
Every criminal enterprise eventually turns into:
- A marketplace dispute
- A misunderstanding about trailer ownership
- Somebody’s cousin Trevor welding something illegal after six beers
And the skid steer itself?
Probably worth more than the average Toronto condo parking spot.
🇨🇦 Only in Canada can a police chase double as municipal snow-clearing equipment.
