Man Climbs Lot Fence, Crashes Unit Through Gates
(La Porte County, IN) – A woman is suspected of having her repossessed vehicle taken from a Rolling Prairie area impound yard with help from a man crashing the SUV through the locked gate.
According to La Porte County Police, video from a security camera shows a man climbing over the impound yard’s fence early Saturday and getting into the 2024 Mitsubishi sport utility vehicle.
Police said the video also shows the SUV crashing into the gate, backing up and crashing into it again.
The gate secured with a chain and padlock busted open the second time it was rammed and the vehicle fled.
Police said the SUV was detected by a license plate reading flock camera entering St. Joseph County on Indiana 2. The vehicle was repossessed in South Bend.
Police said the owner is suspected of having the man with tattoos on his neck take back the vehicle for her because she still had the keys.
