Police have recovered one of three stolen tow trucks taken from a local business over the weekend. The Baldwin Police Department says all three vehicles were stolen from Hulsey Towing before dawn Sunday morning, Nov. 10.

A post on the police department’s Facebook page states they recovered a 2007 white Ford Rollback with Griffin decals Monday evening. 

“We are still looking for the other two vehicles,” a department spokesperson says. Owner Chris Hulsey says two of the trucks were spotted near Decatur Monday morning.

The public is asked to keep an eye out for a white Ford F-350 wrecker with “Hulsey Towing” decals on the side and GA tag #PJI7157. Also, look for a blue Ford F-650 rollback with “Hulsey Towing” decals and GA Tag #JN0L81.

Police believe the thieves parked at a neighboring business and walked to the lot to steal the vehicles. They are asking nearby business owners and residents to check their cameras for suspicious individuals or vehicles that might have been in the area around 2 a.m. Sunday morning.
