HAZZARD, Ky. – A wrecker that was stolen from a Clarksville towing business last month was recovered in Kentucky Aug. 7.
The business owner said the suspect painted the wrecker black with a roller and attempted to junk it for parts. An employee noticed the paint job and the ignition switch, which had been tampered with, and alerted police.
When Kentucky State Police seized the vehicle, several parts were missing and all the tools in the vehicle were gone.
The wrecker will be returned to the business.
