May 5, 2011 | 7:10 AM

More details have been released on a crime spree early Wednesday morning.

The crime spree began in the early hours of the morning when the two culprits stole a first vehicle from a locked compound of a construction business in the rural municipality of Prince Albert south of the city, said RCMP. After driving around and getting stuck in the mud, they returned to the same compound where they stole a second vehicle.

According to RCMP, the pair drove the second vehicle around for some time and broke into a fenced compound the property of Canadian Tire where they stole a pair of bolt cutters.

They ended up rolling the vehicle in the rural municipality of Buckland, north of Prince Albert, when they lost control of the unit.

From there, the suspects abandoned the vehicle and walked back to the Buckland Volunteer Fire Department where they damaged four cars belonging to the firefighters who were responding to a call, RCMP said.
