Professional Thieves Use Tow Truck to Steal New Pickup From Phoenix Home

A north Phoenix couple said they feel violated after someone stole their truck from right in front of their home. The bold thieves used a tow truck in the dead of night to make off with the expensive pickup and everything inside. It happened earlier this week near 22nd Avenue and North Valley Parkway.

A neighbor’s doorbell camera captured Tuesday’s theft, and it’s perhaps the best piece of evidence police have to find suspects in this case. The surveillance video doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary, but it shows a crime involving a rogue tow truck hauling away a new truck in the dead of night.

‘As soon as I walked out and saw it was gone, I knew someone stole the truck,’ said Jimmy Juber. The suspects snagged it from right in front of his north Phoenix home. ‘I’m feeling, well, violated for sure,’ he said.

Juber had his 2023 GMC Sierra Denali for less than a year, but he took pride in his truck. He never expected it would end up stripped down to nearly nothing. Just a day after it was stolen, police recovered the cab near 35th Avenue and Buckeye Road, with a shattered windshield and not much else. ‘It was horrible. I mean, I was expecting them to have taken it apart, but not to that extent. I mean, they didn’t leave nothing,’ said Juber.
