Arnold Police are investigating the theft of an ATV from outside a home in the 2000 block of Judy Drive. Surveillance video from a neighbor’s Ring doorbell camera showed the green 2007 Arctic Cat 650 ATV being driven away from a the home, Arnold Police reported.
The alleged theft happened at about 4:10 a.m. July 9. The ATV belonged to a 62-year-old man, the report said.

The man who owns the ATV said the keys to the Arctic Cat were still in his locked truck. The ATV, which has front and rear luggage racks, is worth about $3,500, Arnold Police reported.
The neighbor’s surveillance video also showed a white pickup with no license plates being driven down the street shortly before the ATV was stolen. Officers found the pickup on Redwood Drive, which is north of Judy Drive and off the West Outer Road, the report said.
