One of the RCMP's four legged members got the assist as an alleged car thief was taken down in Lake Country Tuesday morning.

RCMP at the scene say they began receiving reports about 5:30 Tuesday morning of an erratic driver in a truck, weaving in and out of traffic.

Mounties were eventually able to take up the chase with the assistance of the police helicopter and they determined the truck had been stolen.

The chase led to an industrial area in Lake Country.

One occupant inside the truck was arrested at the scene while a second man fled on foot.

The dog squad was called in and a man was tracked and found hiding under a trailer.

The man was taken into custody nursing a bite wound to his leg.

Charges against the two are pending.
