OTTAWA – One woman is facing charges in connection to the theft of an ice cream truck in Perth Thursday.

Around 9:30 a.m., the refrigerated delivery truck and its load of ice cream were stolen from a gas station while the driver was making deliveries.

“I was actually in a store delivering, which I’ve been to hundreds of times in Perth,” driver David told Sandra and Carter on 105.3 KISS FM Friday morning. “I came out with my coffee like I have for the last four years, and noticed that my truck was rolling out onto the highway, so I chased after it.”

Samantha Whitteker, 24 of the Township of Bastard and South Burgess, is charged with theft of motor vehicle and flight while pursued by police.
