The Columbus Division of Police is seeking the public's assistance in tracing down a suspect involved in a felony theft that took place in June. In a surveillance video capturing the illicit act, an individual can be seen driving off with a trailer that was left in the 2400 block of Petzinger Rd, a location where it had been parked due to damage. The suspect was driving a Jeep SUV when he decided to claim ownership of what wasn't his.
Details regarding the incident were shared on the Columbus Division of Police's Facebook page, including how the crime unfolded and the vehicle used by the suspect. According to the post, the theft was not just a loss for the victim, but a challenge to the community's security, and an affront to the very concept of property rights in the quiet of Columbus.
The Columbus Police have provided multiple channels through which individuals can submit crucial information. Those who can identify the suspect or provide additional details are encouraged to contact Detective Abel directly at 614-645-2159 or via email at [email protected]. There is also the option for individuals to remain anonymous while giving tips by contacting Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477).
