The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the theft of a minivan from Tindall that is likely connected to other rural thefts in the Grundy-Mercer County area.
According to the sheriff’s department, the stolen minivan is a maroon 2006 Chrysler Town and Country, with license plate CU1 R1G. The vehicle was taken in the early morning hours of Tuesday and is believed to be connected to the theft of a truck from Mercer County, which was recovered near Tindall Tuesday. Also believed to be connected to these incidents is the theft of a John Deere compact utility tractor and a John Deere gator from Highway Y in Grundy County; the tampering with an ATV near the Grundy-Mercer county line of NN Highway; and the theft of a truck from Highway 65, north of Trenton. The truck from Highway 65 and the property from Highway Y have been recovered.
According to Sheriff Herring, during the course of the investigation, the sheriff’s department learned that the same suspects are possibly responsible for similar thefts in Putnam, Sullivan and Mercer counties. The GCSD encourages everyone to remove all keys from their vehicles and equipment and to lock their home and all outbuildings.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the stolen minivan from Tindall is asked to call 911. Those with information about the thefts are asked to call the sheriff’s department at 660-359-2828 or submit an ad through the sheriff’s department app.
