A stolen pickup truck was recovered on the North Shore Tuesday night thanks to the quick thinking of the owner.

Police were able to locate the uniquely coloured truck and stopped it on Kicking Horse Drive in Juniper Ridge.
The driver was also arrested.
“Thanks to the updates and information provided by the truck’s owner, frontline officers were able to quickly and safely take a suspect into custody without issue,” said Cpl. Crystal Evelyn.

Charges are expected, police say.
