An Alberta man was sentenced Friday to a further 10 months in jail after he was caught in the cab of a semi-truck pulling a flatbed trailer with a bulldozer on it - adding up to $580,000 worth of stolen equipment.
Grenville Clarke, 30, and co-accused Darren Robert Kelly, 46, were arrested on June 22, 2018 when a friend of the truck's owner noticed the rig on Highway 16 heading towards Prince George and called police. RCMP pulled it over on First Avenue without incident.
Clark and Kelly are from Edson, Alta. and the truck and other items went missing from Whitecourt, Alta. earlier the same day.
In all, Clarke was sentenced to a year in jail less 57 days credit for time in custody prior to sentencing.
Clarke had remained in custody since his arrest but is also currently serving a 151-day sentence for possessing stolen property from a different incident. He took in the hearing on Friday from the correctional centre in Nanaimo via video conferencing.
In September, Kelly, who had also remained in custody since his arrest, was sentenced to a further 36 days in jail.
