Just when he thought he got away, Saskatoon police came knocking on his door.

Early Monday morning at around 2:15 a.m. CST, officers spotted a suspicious truck on the 100 block of Avenue O S. Police said a quick check of the licence plate showed it did not match the vehicle.

Police said they tried to pull the truck over, but it sped off and evaded police. That's when officers called in the Saskatoon Police Air Support Unit for backup. The police plane tracked the suspect's truck to an apartment near Avenue P and 33rd Street.

Two people were spotted leaving the truck and heading into the building. Officers tracked down a 38-year-old man inside the laundry room and took him into custody.

The man faces charges including dangerous driving, evading police, and two counts of possession of stolen property.
