East Hants District RCMP has arrested two men following the recovery of a stolen vehicle in Shubenacadie. 

On July 22, at approximately 1:50 p.m., RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment responded to a report of a stolen Honda Civic from a gas station in the 6700 block of Hwy. 2 in Enfield. Officers learned the owner had left the vehicle running while entering the business. When they returned, the vehicle was gone. 

The owner’s cell phone, which had been left inside the Civic, helped officers trace its location.  The car was tracked to an area on Hwy. 215 in Shubenacadie before a crash notification was received.  East Hants RCMP later located the phone in a ditch. 

At approximately 4:45 p.m., the stolen Honda was observed at an address on Mitchell Rd. in Shubenacadie. Officers attended and observed two men exiting the vehicle before they fled on foot.   

The passenger was arrested after a short foot pursuit.  The driver was later located near Hwy. 102 and arrested. 

The passenger, a 28-year-old man from Truro, was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Shubenacadie Provincial Court at a later date. 

The driver, Luke Alexander Jacquard, 23, of Beaver Bank, has been charged with:

• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime
• Resisting Arrest
• Breach of Probation (two counts)

Jacquard appeared in Shubenacadie Provincial Court on July 23 and was released on conditions.  He’s scheduled to return to court on September 14.
