The deputies turned around to follow the Durango, but the driver sped away before they could stop him. He left the car and fled on foot, but deputies found him hiding in a backyard and arrested him.
The truck disappeared from view, and deputies soon found it abandoned nearby. But deputies soon got a report of another stolen vehicle, in this case a white GMC pickup.
In an effort to stem the rising tide of auto thefts the sheriff's office is asking people not to leave the keys in their cars or leave vehicles running unattended.
