Police have charged two people after a stolen truck was tracked from Gympie to the Logan area on 13 August.
Around 2.30am, police received reports a depot on Laurenceson Road in Monkland had been broken into and a white MAN TGS truck stolen.
The truck was carrying a red Holden Commodore, which had also allegedly been stolen from a business on Brisbane Road in Monkland, earlier that morning.
