Summary
The Brownsburg Police Departments narcotics/vehicle-network unit assisted partners in locating a stolen semi-trailer load of tires in the Atlanta area; 870 tires were recovered and returned to the owner, with the packet listing a value of $258,000.
Major Fultz told the commission that the departments vehicle-network and narcotics units were contacted regarding a stolen semi-trailer of tires taken in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Using license-plate readers and partner agency coordination, investigators located the vehicle and a follow-up search found approximately 870 tires; the packet lists the recovered value as $258,000 and said the property was returned to its owner.
