He says the driver then noticed him and took off at a high rate of speed.

Police say the vehicle was then 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.

A man was arrested a short time later.

RCMP say a suspect was hiding under a tarp inside an outbuilding less than 100 meters from where the vehicle was located.

Police say the man suffered minor injuries related to a confrontation he had with the police dog.
