A trail of stolen fuel led to the arrest of man and woman from Drayton Valley for stealing a truck in Brooks and then fuel in Bassano, Mounties said on Tuesday.
Officials with the Bassano RCMP detachment say they were called to the site of a fuel theft on April 25, and tracked drops of fuel from near Highway 550 and Range Road 164 to a rural well-site.
They say two occupants of an older white Chevy pickup took off on foot, but were apprehended about one kilometre away.
Colin Reid Rumsey, 39, and Tyrisa Dawn Hudson, 26, are both charged with theft of a motor vehicle, gas and a licence plate, and possessing stolen property.
