Los Angeles Times••nation
Key Points:
- In San Bernardino County, a series of vehicle thefts involving an unlabeled white tow truck has been ongoing for nearly a year, with cars being stolen directly from driveways and neighborhood curbs without police notification.
- Victims, including Jesse Roller and April Zavala, reported their vehicles were not behind on payments, and police initially had no knowledge of the cars' whereabouts, indicating these were thefts rather than legal repossessions.
- Surveillance footage shared on social media shows the tow truck quietly towing luxury and common vehicles, suggesting a coordinated pattern possibly linked to organized crime, which authorities are investigating.
- Some stolen vehicles, like Roller's Cadillac, have been recovered stripped for parts, causing significant emotional and financial distress to owners.
