ALBUQUERQUE CAR THIEVES ARE COMING UP WITH NEW WAYS TO GET YOUR VEHICLE. THE LATEST TRICK IS TO POSE AS TOW TRUCK OPERATORS.
OUR SISTER STATION, KOB-TV, REPORTS ONE OF THE LATEST INCIDENTS WAS SATURDAY WHEN A MAN SPOTTED A TOW TRUCK GETTING READY TO TAKE HIS JEEP. WHEN HE ASKED THE MEN WHAT THEY WERE DOING, THEY SAID HIS VEHICLE WAS BEING REPOSSESSED. BUT HE KNEW HE WAS UP ON HIS PAYMENTS AND ALSO NOTICED THE SET-UP WAS NOT CREDIBLE, SO HE CALLED POLICE. THE MEN THEN TOOK OFF … EVEN LEAVING THEIR TOOK KIT.
APD SAYS THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT.
