Police tracked down the huge red-and-orange safari truck Monday morning that had been missing for nearly a week.
The brightly painted 22-seat vehicle was stolen in the early morning hours of May 13 near the Sugar Estate post office on Alton Adams Sr. Drive, St. Thomas, according to a Virgin Islands Police Department spokesperson.
The theft was seemingly more than a joyride, police said. The enormous open-sided truck was allegedly used in another crime in the Subbase area, according to a community alert post issued by VIPD. Police did not elaborate on the nature of the crime, nor where the safari was eventually found. No arrests had been made as of Monday evening.
