Deputies Seek Help In Solving $22,000 Tire Theft Case

June 3, 2010

Authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating the persons responsible for stealing $22,000 worth of truck tires from an Atmore business.

The theft of 200 commercial truck tires was reported May 19 at GCR Tires on Highway 21. A hole had been cut in the fence surrounding the business. Evidence recovered at the scene by the Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Office led investigators to obtain photos from an undisclosed location of the possible suspects.

“One or more of the suspects may be from the area,” Investigator Bruce Shue said. “They left the location in a green Dodge pickup.” The truck may have damage to the front bumper.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call Investigator Shue or Lt. Greg Forbes at (251) 368-4779.

    200 truck tires? There had to be more people and a heck of a lot bigger truck. To bad the officer in that area couldn’t try spot lighting the fence and seeing the hole.

    I think that green dodge pickup is going to look a lot nicer with those expensive new tires on it. We may not recognize it as the same truck that is in the picture.

    It could be TWO sets of identical twins who like to dress alike. You never know.

    With these great pictures, I’m sure these guys are known. TURN THEM IN TODAY. Do your good deed for the day and help this not happen to someone else.

    And if you look REAL close, you ‘ll see that the black truck in the 1st and 2nd photos is the SAME TRUCK!!!

    Sorry Rick, I just couldn’t resist. When I see an opportunity for laughs, I go for it!

    Rick, you are absolutely correct! You should be a detective!

    If you look closely at the pictures . . . I think the 2nd and 4th picture is the same person (same hat & clothes). And the 3rd and 5th picture is the same person (same clothes).

    Wp I can’t believe you might think they’ve done
    Something wrong. So out of step with the persons in power being wrong. There’s hope yet.

  12. whitepunknotondope on June 3rd, 2010 9:40 am

    If I had to guess, I’d say the guy in the hat is the ringleader.
