A social media posting led to the arrest of two people in Saskatoon accused of a gas and dash in a stolen truck.
Saskatoon police were alerted to a suspicious truck in a parking lot at Faithfull Avenue and 42nd Street East late Monday afternoon.
The caller told police the truck was the same as one on a social media site with a caption it had left a service station in a town west of the city without paying.
Patrol officers located the truck and a check found it had been reported stolen from Edmonton several days earlier.
A search of the vehicle turned up false identification documents, a printer, other items police said were related to fraudulent activity, and over 200 grams of cannabis resin.
A 31-year-old Edmonton man and a 28-year-old woman from Moose Jaw, Sask., have been charged with trafficking a controlled substance, possession of stolen property, and breaching court conditions.
The woman was also wanted for theft and fraud.
Police continue to investigate and said more charges may be laid.
