After a farmer’s truck was stolen in Washington State, a citizen that took to the air in his small plane spotted the alleged thief, radioing his position to law enforcement officers, who quickly apprehended the suspected truck thief. It was a wild scene. After the truck was taken, the owner tried to stop the thief, who nearly hit the famer. The driver of the purloined vehicle shortly thereafter crashed and fled on foot into wheat fields. It was at that point that another resident took to the skies in his private plane to find the fleeing suspect. No word on the type of plane that was used in the search, but flying farmers everywhere are celebrating the teamwork it took to catch a thief.
