•A 22-year-old Rolla woman reported a missing vehicle on Sept. 28.

The woman told an investigating officer she had loaned her red 2001 Ford ZX2 coupe to a 23-year-old man on Sept. 27 and he informed her it ran out of gas on U.S. 63 between Highway P and Houston and he had left it on the roadside. The woman said that when she went to get it, it was gone.

•A 17-year-old Houston boy came to the TCSD office on Oct. 1 regarding a stolen vehicle.

The teen told a deputy that he had traded his 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe for a 2014 Ford Mustang and later found out the Mustang was listed as stolen by the sheriff’s department in Dillon County, S.C.

He said he contacted the 26-year-old Richland man who he made the trade with, but the man refused to return his vehicle and blocked his number from further contact.

Investigation is ongoing.

•A 41-year-old Licking woman reported on Oct. 2 that numerous items with a total value of $8,550 had been removed from her U.S. 63 residence.
