Washington police say that a man who called the cops to report his truck had been stolen was committing a crime of his own at the time. William Kelley called 911 after his vehicle was taken from a parking lot just before 6 a.m. on Sunday (August 25) morning.
When police arrived, they reviewed nearby surveillance video which captured a man on a ten-speed bicycle riding up to his 1992 Chevy truck. The man found the keys sitting on the front seat and drove away in the maroon pickup truck.
As the officers continued to investigate, they discovered that Kelley's car was stolen while he was busy robbing a business across the street. Authorities did not say what Kelley was accused of stealing nor did they identify the company he allegedly stole from.
He was taken into custody on a previous warrant and hit with a new burglary charge. Officials are still trying to locate the person who stole Kelley's truck.
