A stolen pickup truck from Cochrane was involved in an early morning rollover Nov. 25 with another stolen pickup from Innisfail.
The rollover took place southbound Hwy 2, near the Hwy 567 turnoff.
According to Airdrie RCMP Media Liaison Constable Jason Curtis, a third vehicle was also involved in the incident — a silver sedan stolen from Airdrie.
Four youths were taken into custody and three youths remain at large; due to their ages, no identified information can be released. All are believed to be from Calgary.
One of the youths was found a short distance from the incident and was transported to Foothills Hospital with minor injuries.
If you have any information on any crime, call the Airdrie RCMP detachment at (403) 945-7200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
