On Tuesday at 11 p.m. Spruce Plains RCMP were called to the property after one of the men had asked the homeowners for help getting the vehicle out of the ditch.

The homeowners became suspicious and called the police, and the man then left the home.

RCMP say the license plate on the vehicle was found to be stolen.
