A taxi cab was stolen in Steinbach early Thursday morning. RCMP report the vehicle was swiped from a parking lot at 90 Brandt Street and taken for a joyride. Investigators found the vehicle in the back yard of a residence along Southwood drive where it had been abandoned by the culprits. Police say the cab appears to have turned off Main Street onto Southwood and down a partial back lane that led them through some backyards along Southwood. They add there was no damage to the vehicle. RCMP brought in the police dog service to assist in the investigation. No arrests have been made to this point.
