Police are looking for a man in connection with a stolen truck that went up a curb, ran over a stop sign, and landed on some decking next to a condemed house in the north east community of Temple.
Police noticed a black Ford truck driving eratically. They kept their distance but the man likely noticed them and wound up crashing up onto the lawn of a Temple home.
Duty Inspector Rob Williams says police were 3-4 blocks away when the truck crashed.
The man got out and fled the scene, leaving behind a crack pipe and even more concerning a replica handgun.
Williams says the truck, belonging to an Airdrie resident, was reported stolen last week.
