Multi-jurisdictional Stolen Truck Ring Busted

The GBI and Houston County Sheriff’s Office culminated a yearlong investigation today by serving search warrants and arrest warrants at a Macon County trucking company. The trucking company is located at 2524 Drayton Road, Montezuma, Ga.

While running a trucking business, the group reportedly stole tractor trailer trucks and took them to the business where employees would disassemble the trucks and sell the parts to different venders.

Some of the stolen parts were sold in Bibb, Jones, and Houston Counties. A truck was recently stolen from Nebraska and was recovered by Ft. Valley Police Department during a traffic stop after it reportedly left the Freeman property. Other trucks were stolen from Houston County, Dooly County, Quitman, and Montezuma.

Fletcher Freeman, Sr; Fletcher Freeman, Jr; Sean Benard Freeman, and Timothy Tookes were arrested and charged with Theft by Receiving Stolen Property. Additional charges are pending.
