Local authorities recovered a stolen truck Monday on a farm access road at Elizabethtown Landing in the Tolu community. An area farmer, John Croft, located the remains of a burned 1997 Ford Ranger Monday afternoon while tending the fields. Police were able to identify the vehicle from the license plate as one reported stolen from the area.
The vehicle was stolen and burned sometime between Saturday afternoon and the time it was discovered Monday. There were no signs of anyone having been injured in the fire.
While on the call, Crittenden County Deputy Sheriff Greg Rushing received a call about some more property stolen from the Tolu area. Before answering the call, area residents and Rushing discovered a trailer hidden in the woods off Elizabethtown Landing Road just up from where the burned truck was discovered. The trailer turned out to the be the stolen property Rushing was headed to investigate.
More details will be available in this week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press.
