Pickup reportedly stolen in Yampa this week

A truck was reported stolen in Yampa on Wednesday.

Jennifer Padilla said her husband's 1995 white GMC pickup was taken Wednesday afternoon from the 400 block of Main Street in Yampa, Routt County Sheriff John Warner said.

Padilla said the truck was at their home when she went to work that morning. The keys were in the ignition, but she believed no one had her husband's permission to use it.

Padilla said her husband had gone to Denver with a friend and that the friend was driving.

The truck's license plate number is 722FWD. Anyone with information can contact the sheriff's office at 879-1090.
