Guelph police say a man was arrested Friday night in a north-end parking lot after a truck fled from police six weeks prior.
Police said they stopped a pickup truck on April 19 but the driver sped away and officers did not go after the vehicle in the interest of public safety.
The same truck was then spotted in a parking lot around 11:30 on Friday night on Woolwich Street near Speedvale Avenue.
The truck was blocked in and police say officers recognized the driver as the same man who had been behind the wheel in April.
