Medicine Hat man charged after vehicles were stolen, police say

A Medicine Hat man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a pair of vehicles.

On Sunday, Brooks RCMP received a report of a suspicious male and female asking for fuel at a residence on Highway 544, according to a news release.

When the homeowner refused, the pair abandoned the vehicle they had been driving in the driveway and proceeded to a neighboring property, where they stole a truck.

An officer arrived at the scene and discovered that the abandoned vehicle had been reported stolen out of Redcliff, police say.
