Thieves using state vehicles for Cherry Hill burglary jobs

Police in Cherry Hill, N.J., are trying to determine whether a series of thefts aided by state Department of Transportation vehicles is an inside job.

In as many as five cases, state dump trucks have been hot-wired and used to knock down fences so thieves could take metal products from inside the transportation yard, the Courier-Post reports.

Dec. 31, a man was scene driving a state truck that had gone missing. He abandoned the truck after being spotted, but in other cases, the trucks were returned after being stolen.
