A man and a woman are behind bars after the stolen vehicle they were travelling in ran out of gas.

It all happened during the early morning hours of Nov. 5 when a truck was stolen from a home south of Wadena.

Wadena RCMP found the truck later that day with help from the public and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle sped off and later came to a stop when it ran out of fuel. Two people then got out of the truck, and both were arrested at the scene.

An RCMP Police Dog was brought to the scene, where they sniffed out a firearm and a quantity of suspected drugs from the truck.
