Police in Abbotsford say an Alberta man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a semi-truck in the Fraser Valley community.

Constable Paul Walker says members of the Chilliwack RCMP attempted to stop the driver before he collided with another vehicle.

Walker says police did not pursue the truck due to the man's driving behaviour and heavy fog but he later struck a concrete barrier and escaped before trying to steal a vehicle from a business complex, where members of the public intervened.

He says 28 year old Rory Serna has been charged with multiple offences including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault and driving while disqualified.
