Police solve 2-year-old case when stolen truck is listed on Craigslist - St George News
GEORGE – More than two years after a vehicle had been reported stolen, police finally caught a break last week when the stolen truck turned up for sale on Craigslist, leading to the arrest of a 38-year-old Hurricane man. One of the reported burglarized vehicles, a 1997 Ford truck which was rendered inoperable during a crash and had heavy damage to the passenger side, had several items taken from it, including the driver’s seat. Approximately five days later, officers were called back to the wrecking yard on a report that the same burglarized Ford truck had been stolen in its entirety. On Tuesday, more than two years after the truck was reported stolen, officers caught that break in the case when they learned the Ford truck had reportedly been listed for sale on Craigslist. When police spoke with the person who had listed the truck, he told them he had purchased two vehicles – an operable 1996 Ford and the inoperable 1997 Ford – from Jeremy Keith Stover in December 2014. The individual had documentation of the sale,... The individual told police the stolen 1997 Ford truck was still on the trailer belonging to Stover. Source: www.stgeorgeutah.com
