SASKATOON – A Saskatoon man enjoying coffee on Boxing Day managed to recover his stolen truck after a multi-vehicle pursuit. At around 10:45 a.m. CT Saturday, two men were at an establishment in the 600-block of 22nd Street West when one noticed his truck being stolen.
The two got into the other man’s vehicle and followed the stolen tuck. It just so happened that the truck owner’s brother was also in the drive-thru of the establishment and joined in the effort, according to authorities.
