3-year-old Sask. girl saved after RCMP chase stolen truck into Manitoba

A child who was in a truck that was stolen in northeastern Saskatchewan is back home safe with her mother after Mounties chased the thief into Manitoba.

RCMP say the pursuit beganTuesdayafternoon in Creighton, Sask., when a man took the truck and headed for The Pas.

Police say a three-year-old girl was in the back seat.

Mounties from four RCMP detachments worked to corner the suspect and the truck went off the road after hitting a spike belt outside of Cranberry Portage.

Police say the suspect fled and the child was found unharmed.

Investigators with a police dog say they later arrested a suspect who now faces kidnapping, theft, dangerous operation of vehicle and other charges.
