700 block of E. Kennedale Parkway
On this date investigators from the Tri-County Auto Theft Task Force conducted an inspection on an auto repair shop. Investigators located a 1956 Chevrolet truck with what appeared to be an altered VIN number. It was determined that the vehicle was alleged to have been stolen in Dallas in 1984 and was possibly recovered in 1988. Due to the age of the case, the file was not readily available in Dallas and will have to be retrieved manually. The vehicle currently shows as inactive in the state database. A male was located who claims to be the current owner of the vehicle since 2000. He provided a title to the investigators. The vehicle was towed to the task force impound lot until the proper ownership and vehicle status can be confirmed.
