Police Seek Truck Battery Thief

Six truck batteries were stolen from Arnold’s Towing parking lot area recently, according to Lower Moreland Police.

The old batteries, which contain lead, were planned to be recycled at Sullivan’s Scrap Metals in Hatboro, according to the police report. But, before that could happen, police said someone stole the batteries from the area near the rear garage bays of the business, which is located at 3875 Heaton Road in Huntingdon Valley.

The business owner, who contacted police on Friday, said he usually receives $10 for each battery recycled, according to the report.

A witness told police that he saw a man in the yard about 5 a.m. on July 29.

According to police, several others in the area reported that their vehicles had been entered overnight throughout the week, but nothing was stolen. Police said vehicles were “lightly ransacked with the doors left standing open.”

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
