Montana man spots his stolen car

[September 23, 2009]  BIILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A Montana man was driving home from work Monday when he spotted someone driving the car that was stolen from him that morning.

Billings police say the man chased the vehicle until it stopped. Three of the four people inside ran, but the man managed to catch one of them. He held the teen at gunpoint while he called 911.

Officers took the teen into custody. Sgt. Scott Conrad says the boy helped police identify those who allegedly stole the car; they were being sought. The boy was later released.
