The Saline County Sheriff’s Office is looking for the two suspects shown in the video below?, after a car theft in the Salem community just outside the city limits of Benton.
The owner of the car stated that she started the vehicle about 6:50 a.m. on Wednesday, November 3rd, to warm it up. Upon returning to the car at 7:00 a.m., she witnessed her car being driven out of the driveway.
The police report shows she immediately called 911. When Sheriff’s deputies came to investigate, they looked at video from her doorbell camera, showing two suspects getting into the car and driving away.
The report states that while the deputies interviewed the car owner, her husband contacted her around 7:30 a.m. to say that he found the car at the Pilot Travel Center on Alcoa Road, near Interstate 30 in Benton.
Deputies checked the area around Pilot for suspects and checked video surveillance footage from the business. That video showed the vehicle pulling into the parking lot and stopping close to the front door. Two males exited the vehicle and entered the back seat of a white four-door sedan.
Deputies describe the suspects as two black males, between the ages of 17-25. The report states the suspect approaching the drivers side of the vehicle appears to holding a gun near his waistband. The victim stated that she didn’t notice anything missing from her vehicle.
The Sheriff Offices advises the public, “If you are going to warm up or defrost you car please make sure it is locked. Crimes like this occur several time a year during the winter months.”
If you recognize the suspects in the video contact Detective McCorkle at the Saline County Sheriff’s Office 501-303-5609.
