Police in Nova Scotia say a man and a woman have been arrested after three vehicles were stolen and a senior was assaulted in Cumberland County.
Officers responded to a report of a robbery and theft of a motor vehicle around 3 a.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the Cumberland County District RCMP.
Officers learned a man allegedly forced his way inside a residence and punched a 67-year-old man, before stealing his blue Mazda CX-9. The SUV was abandoned shortly after it ran out of gas.
According to police, the suspect then met with an accomplice and stole a second vehicle, a grey GMC Sierra, out of a driveway in Wentworth. Police allege the pair drove away and later crashed the vehicle.
“The duo continued their rampage and stole a third vehicle, a blue Ford Transit, out of a driveway in Wallace Ridge,” said Cst. Dominic Laflamme, with the Nova Scotia RCMP, in the release.
“The suspects crashed the van before being picked up by a local resident and driven to a residence on Lake Road in Wentworth.”
The next day, officers arrested a man and woman at the Wentworth residence.
