Officials say the first vehicle, a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, was stolen from the area of 3rd Ave. E and 12th St. E in Owen Sound overnight between Monday and Tuesday. It was found on Grey Rd. 18 near Springmount Wednesday afternoon.

The second truck, a red 2005 GMC Sierra, was found blocking the eastbound lane of Grey Rd. 16 near Sunny Valley Rd. in the Township of Chatsworth yesterday morning.

A witness saw a man running from the vehicle into a nearby cornfield.  The truck was reported stolen by the Waterloo Regional Police Service.

Police have not identified suspects in the case.
