In a mission straight out of the Grand Theft Auto video game series, a man in Cochise County, Arizona, takes an entire car carrier loaded with 10 C8 Corvettes, estimated to be worth more than $1.25 million. I jacked it. Fortunately, the truck was recovered as peacefully as possible and no one was injured.
The suspect, Isaiah Walker, reportedly spoke to a truck driver at Wilcox Loves Truck Stop before stealing the truck.by Cochise County Sheriff's Department, Wilcox “led him to a sense of security.” When the driver then tried to get back into the truck, Walker let him go, got in and drove away.
Cochise County deputies quickly spotted Walker driving the truck and pursued him, a car carrier carrying 10 Corvettes that would not be easily or easily overlooked. . Walker initially tried to flee from police, but the truck eventually came to a stop on County Line Road.
When police arrested Walker, he claimed that stealing the Corvette was not the reason for hijacking the truck.Instead, according to fox 10 phoenixhis reasoning was that he had just been released from prison and needed a ride home.
Walker was booked into the Cochise County Jail on charges of robbery, 11 counts of theft of transportation, and felony theft.
“I am extremely proud of the officers and lieutenants who worked on this investigation,” said Cochise Police Chief Dale Hadfield. , showed great restraint and patience in resolving a serious crime peacefully. The stolen vehicle was safely recovered without damage and released.” I told the driver so he could continue making deliveries.
