A Pablo woman whose house was broken into the night before, saw her stolen items traveling in a red truck going the opposite direction on Sept. 17, according to a Lake County Sheriff’s Department police report.

The woman, who spotted the truck, was driving her own vehicle, turned around and began following her stolen items.

Lake County emergency dispatchers received a call at about 9:52 a.m. from a woman who said she could see items that were taken from her house, which was broken into the previous night, traveling through Pablo.

The woman, who followed the truck in her own car, waited for emergency responders as she watched the suspect vehicle pull into a Pablo trailer park.

Members of the CSK Tribal police, Lake County Sheriff’s deputies and Montana Highway Patrol converged on the scene and found the truck empty.

Witnesses said a woman was driving the truck and a man was in the passenger’s seat next to her.

The burglary victim was able to identify several items inside the truck as belonging to her and having been stolen the previous night, Lake County Sheriff Don Bell said.

The two suspects in the truck fled the scene and were not captured, Bell said.

Evidence was logged into the Lake County Court system and law enforcement continues to search for the suspects, he said.
