A pickup was stolen from outside a home in the 11200 block of Mapaville-Hematite Road in the Festus area. The black 1996 Dodge Dakota was valued at about $1,500, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reported.
At 9:20 p.m. Sept. 13, the victim called deputies to a home in the 6900 block of Front Street in Barnhart. The man told authorities he had moved three months earlier and left the pickup at the Festus-area home, the report said.
The victim told deputies when he went to get his pickup on Sept. 13, he discovered it was missing. He said the doors had been locked, and he had the only set of keys for the pickup, according to the report.
As of Sept. 29, the pickup had not been recovered, and there were no suspects, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Grant Bissell said. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call the Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515.
