BOSTON (WHDH) - A Hyde Park man was arrested for allegedly stealing a grocery delivery driver’s truck in Boston on Sunday.

He gave police a description of the suspect and delivery truck.
A short time later, on-duty officers in Jamaica Plain spotted the alleged thief driving the truck on School Street. They followed the vehicle and placed the driver under arrest once he came to a stop in a driveway.
