Del Norte Safety Alert - Theives in a Blue Datsun Truck

Thieves in a Baby Blue Datsun Truck -

On Saturday two local thieves were caught stealing scrap metals. Sadly the value of scrap is so low that the Sheriff's Office did not have the resources to go after them.

The two were discovered on Lake Earl Drive just South of Vipond Drive. They gave a cover story, lied about their names and fled. The scrap metal owner gave the materials to a scrap yard to remove the temptation once it was discovered what they had really been up to.

The two were seen an hour later cruising by the site of the theft attempt. They evaded followers, but were later seen at a gear shed one block west of the intersection of Washington Blvd, and Northcrest Drive.

The vehicle is very easily identified. It is an old baby blue Datsun two wheel drive truck. One of the occupants may be a Mr. Pressler, and the other may be a Mr. Rankin.

If you see this truck anywhere near your property or any place you care about, take the time to find out what they are up to. According to sources in the community they often sell scrap metals. they may be after something of yours right now.
