Cases of tow trucks used to move stolen cars in plain sight keep surfacing, and it has happened again, this time in Ontario, Canada. Police grew suspicious of a tow truck transporting a Range Rover and a Jeep Wrangler, pulled it over, and quickly uncovered the scheme.
Using a tow truck lends an air of legitimacy to what is actually brazen theft. The bust highlights how criminals exploit ordinary-looking vehicles to move stolen property, and how alert officers can disrupt the operation when something seems off.
