This is not something you hear every day: a single stolen-vehicle report turns into over $240,000 worth of stolen items, including a semi-truck, being recovered in Elk Grove.

"A stolen vehicle loaded with $170,000 worth of Tesla materials ends up in our city, in Elk Grove, and our detectives went to work thanks to some shared information from our law enforcement partners and they were able to locate that vehicle and all the materials inside," Elk Grove police spokesperson Julissa Ortiz shared.

The California Highway Patrol took a stolen vehicle report of a semi-truck and trailer last week with tens of thousands of dollars worth of stolen Tesla material inside.
