According to a release issued Monday by the BCSO Investigations Command, Friday, May 4, Baldwin County Sheriff Deputies received a call from Mobile Police Department investigators stating that they were working a burglary to a business where several work trucks had been stolen. One of these vehicles had a GPS that was pinging in Baldwin County.
Patrol deputies along with Investigators responded to 44800 Freddie Sellers Road in the Bay Minette area. Upon arrival at this location the deputies discovered the reported stolen 2013 Chevrolet 350 truck on the property.
