Unknown Company Truck

Date: July 9, 2009
Time: Unknown
Location: Temple, GA
Value: $8.8 million
Drugs Stolen: Variety of allergy medications and blood thinner Lovenox

The driver departed from Forest Park, GA, traveling just 50 miles before pulling over at a truck stop. The truck was stolen while unattended. 

Often thieves will canvas an area by breaking into passing tractor-trailers and taking samples to determine the type of product being moved through the area. This is presumed to be the case in a recent theft that took place in Memphis, where only a small amount of drugs was stolen.

Resolution: The trailer was recovered.
