BEDFORD COUNTY (WSLS 10) - Officers have arrested a Salem man who they believe stole a truck.

At about 8 a.m., the Franklin County Sheriff's Office received a call from a man who said he was driving behind a stolen truck. He said the reason he knew the truck was stolen was because he worked for the company in Rocky Mount which owned the truck and that the driver was not an employee of the company.
