Parkin said a review of the footage shows a red Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up with a missing rear driver’s side window at the property at the time of the suspected theft. The footage shows a subject getting out of the vehicle.

Employees the next day went to the area where the truck was seen and found one of the work trucks was missing the emission control device, Parkin said. The cost to replace the car part is estimated to be several hundred dollars.
