WASHINGTON – Officers arrested an 18-year-old St. George man on felony charges of possession of a stolen vehicle after a concerned resident called police saying a truck was parked in a vacant lot just before midnight on Saturday.
Ed Kantor, law enforcement division chief for Washington City Public Safety, said officers found the man sleeping in the truck on Telegraph. Officers discovered other property inside the vehicle that is believed to be stolen from multiple victims.
“There are probably some other victims,” Kantor said. “The detectives are still working on it. It’s hard to tell where the property came from.”
Kantor said the suspect invoked his rights and officers are still investigating the incident.
