dewalt tools : Man steal plumbing truck with tools

If you were planning on talking someone else’s vehicle, would you want identification written all over both doors and the hood?

A Huntington man stole an F-150 June 27 in the 800 block 8th Street and Sixth Avenue with “Drain Doctor Plumbing” painted on it. The truck had $3,000 of copper pipe and Dewalt tools valued at approximately $2,500 inside.

About 12:50 a.m. June 30, 2006 an officer saw the white Ford truck in the 1000 block of Washington Avenue with four occupants. After making a traffic stop, the officer was advised that the car had been given to the driver by a man staying at Coach’s Inn. The driver had gone to The Copa, 2006 10th Avenue, to pick up friends.

When questioned, Willie Ramey, 43, claimed it was his ‘work truck.’ Ramey was charged with felonious transfer and receipt of stolen property, five counts of writing worthless checks and two counts of domestic battery.

A SMASHING SOMEONE DID GO….

A series of incidents in the 600 block of Hawthorne Way left multiple vehicles with broken windows.

During the early morning hours of June 29, 2006, police received at least five reports of automobiles damaged at Hawthorne Way. The suspect broke out the left rear door of a Chevrolet, the front window of a Toyota, the driver’s side window of a Cadillac, the rear window of a Suburban and the rear window of a Buick.

The subject took a brief case from the Cadillac, but it was recovered by police and the victim at the bottom of the driveway. $550 of items were missing from the Suburban and a portable GPS unit from the Toyota.

Four of the incidents occurred between 5:30 a.m.-6:40 a.m. and the sixth one between approximately 11:30 p.m. June 28 and 6 a.m. June 29.

No suspects have been found.
