Tow truck thefts: Man accused of using tow truck to steal, sell vehicles throughout Philadelphia

A Philadelphia man is facing charges after authorities say he used a tow truck to steal at least seven cars throughout the city. Lamarr Miller, 44, turned himself in earlier this month on charges of auto theft, receiving stolen property and related charges. Captain Jason Smith told reporters that Miller previously used the same tow truck to steal a car in Chester City in Jan. 2022.

Titan Auto Recycling, the scrapyard where Miller is accused of taking the stolen cars, cooperated with investigators about purchasing the stolen cars."We did reach out to many other scrapyards to see whether was engaged in dropping off vehicles, that investigation is ongoing," Smith said. "We obviously think Mr. Miller is going to be responsible for many, many more thefts than this, but thus far he's only been charged with seven stolen autos.
