LAHARPE — A 27-year-old man was arrested after a pickup was reported stolen from LaHarpe Friday morning and recovered the next day in Spring Hill.
Allen County sheriff’s deputies were notified of the theft from a local business of a 2008 GMC Sierra pickup after keys had been left in the ignition.
Deputies reviewed video of the theft, and the suspect was identified with help from the LaHarpe Police Department.
Several hours later, the truck was reportedly involved in a gasoline theft from a convenience store in Princeton.
Early Saturday, Spring Hill police officers found the truck and arrested Wayne E.A. Kirkland, 27, for suspicion of driving under the influence and possessing stolen property.
Charges related to the incident have been forwarded to the Allen County attorney’s office for consideration of local charges.
