Atmore Chases ‘Stolen’ Vehicle Into Florida, Turns Out To Be A Repo

September 4, 2008

The Atmore Police Department chased a van that was reported stolen into Florida just before 10:00 Wednesday night, but it turned out that the van had actually been repossessed.

The pursuit went south of  Highway 97 to a bridge in Davisville between Ficklin Road and Pelt Road. That’s about a mile south of Highway 4, or about three and a half miles south of Atmore.

Atmore officers quickly discovered that the van was not stolen but repossessed.

Several units from the Escambia County Florida Sheriff’s Department as well as the department’s helicopter were dispatched toward Davisville, but the units were canceled before arriving.
