Two men said they had been given permission to take a truck from a property in southern Bartholomew County yesterday. But the property owner told deputies that no one had permission to be on the property or to take the vehicle.

The two are now under arrest on auto theft charges.

A witness called Bartholomew County deputies after seeing an SUV remove a pickup from a property near South Jonesville and Deaver roads at about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday morning.

A state trooper saw the vehicles and pulled them over at Jonesville Road and Spear Street.
