A stolen truck was found on fire about one mile north of Highway 52 on Road 26E shortly after 11:00 Monday morning.

After running the license plate St. Pierre RCMP say the truck was stolen earlier the same morning out of Steinbach and found on fire and abandoned in the bush.

Kleefeld Deputy District Fire Chief Armin Dueck says the truck was fully involved when crews arrived and they were able to extinguish the fire.

RCMP add the case was turned over to the Steinbach detachment and the investigation continues.
