A Washington man is behind bars after his getaway truck was stolen while he robbed a store, according to police.

NBC 10 reports that 42-year-old William Kelley contacted the Kennewick Police Department to report his Chevrolet pickup truck on Sunday. He reportedly claimed he left his keys in the front seat of the truck while he left to find a restroom.

As authorities looked through security footage from a parking lot off of the 500 block of E Bruneau in Kennewick, they noticed a man ride by the truck on a bicycle. Police said the man stopped by the truck, threw his bicycle in the bed of the vehicle, then got in inside and drove away.

Police said that Kelley, however, didn’t go to a restroom. Instead, he allegedly walked inside a store across the street and stole items at around 6 a.m.

Kelley, who was wanted on an unrelated outstanding warrant, was arrested and charged with burglary.

Meanwhile, Kelley’s truck is still missing. Anyone with any information about the truck is urged to contact KPD at 509-628-0333, with reference case number 19-33651.
