Ponoka RCMP are looking for two Caucasian men involved in a gas and dash on Saturday, Sept. 12.
At approximately 9:30 a.m., police received reports of a white Ford SRW driving away from a Highway 2A gas station with $109 worth of fuel.
Two Caucausian men wearing ball caps were involved in the theft, say police, and the truck was reported stolen out of Stettler. Police say a vehicle matching that description has been seen in nearby towns related to criminal activity.
A short time later police received reports of two men attempting to steal a truck. They were driving a stolen white Ford F350 with a licence plate of BPM 6557.
Driver on prohibition
Members of the Ponoka Integrated Traffic Unit conducted a check stop on Highway 2A on 50 Street on Tuesday, Sept. 8 nabbing a driver without a valid license.
After stopping the 40-year-old Edmonton driver of a 2008 silver Nissan Altima, officers found the man had a Canada-wide driving prohibition and no drivers licence.
He was charged and released on a promise to appear for driving while prohibited and the vehicle was seized for 30 days.
