Parkland RCMP have arrested a Duffield resident and two Edmonton residents following an alleged police chase near Gunn.
On March 26, Parkland RCMP were told a stolen Chevrolet Silverado was seen in the Onoway area. Shortly after, the vehicle was used in an alleged theft in Gunn before it fled towards Alberta Beach at a high rate of speed.
