SACKVILLE – A 36-year-old man has been arrested after a marked RCMP patrol car was stolen in New Brunswick and driven across the provincial border into Nova Scotia. 

RCMP Sgt. Pierre-Luc Haché says the incident began unfolding around 2:30 p.m. on Friday when the car was taken in Sackville, N.B., and headed down the Trans Canada Highway.
