Police search for person who drove truck into boat, trailer, side of building


BENTON, LA (KSLA) - The Benton Police Department is searching for the person responsible for driving a truck into a boat and trailer and later into the side of a building early Wednesday morning.
The incident happened at the American Freedom Storage on Highway 3 around 4:30 a.m.
Police say the man in a white GMC Flatbed truck entered the property and drove into a boat and trailer causing it to crash through a wooden privacy fence.
About an hour and a half later, the unidentified man returned to the same truck with a stolen trailer in-tow.
He then drove his truck into the side of the building and later into an electric gate causing damage.
Police say the man stole a 2016 OD Green CAN-AM four-wheeler and left the area.
Police say the trailer that was stolen out of Bossier Parish had other stolen items including air conditioners, a bathtub and a ladder.
The truck used by the man has a purple and gold ice chest on the back of the vehicle and what appears to be an eagle sticker on the windshield.
