Two men have been arrested on charges of using a tow truck to steal vehicles.
New Castle County Police reported that since January, they have received multiple reports of stolen cars, throughout the county. It was reported that the vehicles were older models or were disabled.
Initial reports revealed that all the vehicles taken were paid off and all of the vehicle owners had their car keys in their possession.
County Police identified the tow truck and linked it to 47-year-old Matthew Wojciechowski and 44-year-old Arnold Phillip Anderson.
Late last month, the same tow truck was seen driving to Chester, PA. The occupants (later identified as Wojciechoski and Anderson) were found to be stealing an older model Pontiac which was later discovered to have been sold to a local car dealership.
Detectives discovered that multiple stolen vehicles were sold to this business by Wojciechowski and Anderson. The name of the dealership was not disclosed.
Anderson was taken into custody on March 7th and was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11 and is currently being held at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $22,000 secured bail.
Wojciechowski was taken into custody on March 16th and was also arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11. He was released on $96,000 unsecured bail.
