Sandy's Towing targeted by car thieves, again (OH)

[TowNews]

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - Police arrested three juveniles in connection with a break-in at a local towing company.

 

According to police reports, the teens were seen stealing a car at Sandy's Towing; When confronted by employees, they sped off through the front gate, causing damage.

 

And it's not the first time Sandy's Towing has dealt with a situation like this.

 

Police say when they arrived on scene around 2am on Sunday, the gate was lying on the ground after the culprits smashed through it.

 

An employee saw a white GMC Yukon driving in the parking lot and called police, telling officers, someone had broken in and was stealing a car.

 

Another employee tried to block the front entrance with his tow truck.

 

Police say that's when the Yukon accelerated - narrowly missing the tow truck - smashing through the front gate, and speeding off.

 

Last Thursday, someone stole four cars off the lot.

 

A day later, four juveniles were seen trying to take more cars but didn't manage to get anyway with anything.

 

A man who lives in the area, Garland Williams told me the incident comes as a shock.

 

"I would have never thought somebody would break into Sandy's knowing somebody's there 24 hours a day," he said. "Trucks come and go all night long and I'm wondering how or why."
