Guelph police say a 43-year-old man is facing charges after a pickup truck was stolen twice in one day over the weekend.
In a news release, police said a GMC Sierra was reported stolen on Saturday morning.
The pickup was found by officers later in the day on Sunnylea Crescent where it was turned over to the rightful owner.
A police spokesperson said officers left as the owner was trying to make arrangements to get the truck home, but a man came out of a house and drove away in the previously stolen pickup.

He was released with a court appearance scheduled for Jan. 8, 2019, but police said he was arrested again early Sunday morning for breaching several of his conditions, including a curfew.
