The modern day "Bonnie and Clyde" couple has been arrested after being chased by law enforcement for about 24 hours.

The couple has been identified as 32-year-old Dustin Rose and 30-year-old Brandi Bower.

Rose and Bower allegedly stole a truck while in Anson and a motorcycle in Carlsbad, New Mexico before fleeing from a Concho County Sheriff's Deputy during a traffic stop near Eden.

Around 11 p.m. on Sunday, a Concho County Sheriff's Deputy pulled the couple over because they were driving over 90 mph on U.S. 87, just west of Eden.

However, the couple sped away when the officer approached their truck for the traffic stop.

Officers pursued the couple through multiple ranches in Concho County. Menard County Constable Lee Callan used his ranch helicopter to track the couple during the chase.

After some time, the truck eventually stopped and the couple began using the motorcycle to run from police.

Officers determined that the motorcycle was stolen in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The couple stole the truck when they were stranded in Anson and a man offered to give them a ride to the nearest gas station.

Around 4 p.m. on Monday, the motorcycle had run out of gas and the suspects continued to run on foot.

Multiple agencies as well as a K9 team were used in the search for the couple near the Concho-Menard County line. The suspects were caught shortly after dark on Monday night.

Officials found a meth pipe inside the truck, which is believed to have influenced the couple's actions. There was also a handgun in the pickup truck when they stole it.

Rose and Bower were booked into the Tom Green County Detention Center and face several charges including Burglary of a Habitation, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Criminal Mischief, and Evading Arrest/Detention.

The bond is set at $300,000 each.
