The Gulf Shores Police Department recovered a stolen vehicle and made a felony arrest early Monday. Officers responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle at 7:32 a.m. in the 1800 block of Pine Acres Road.

Witnesses described a damaged truck with its driver’s side door ajar and a male subject fleeing the scene, attempting to enter another vehicle nearby. Further investigation revealed the truck had been reported stolen from Robertsdale.
