WESTLOCK (660 NEWS) — A man and woman are in custody after an incident outside of a McDonalds Drive Thru in Westlock, Alta.

Just after midnight on Friday, RCMP located a truck in the drive-thru that had been reported stolen out of Athabasca.

RCMP officers cornered the vehicle in the drive-thru, and the driver of the truck then rammed both police cars in an attempt to escape.
