A Houston family's hope was dashed when their newly bought semi-truck was snatched from a truck stop on the South Freeway. The theft left them without their investment just before the holiday season.
The incident: Casey Jordan and his family poured their entire savings into the $45,000 truck. "It was my means of providing for my family," Jordan shared. The theft was recorded on surveillance, but as of now, the suspect remains at large.
- The truck disappeared within minutes from TA Express, caught on camera by the truck stop.
- Carey returned four days after buying it, only to discover it missing.
- Police are actively investigating, aiming to retrieve the truck and nab the thief.
A helping hand: Fortunately, the family's misfortune caught the attention of Peter Montes, a compassionate local truck dealer.
- Montes surprised the family with a new semi at his dealership, aiming to restore their livelihood.
- "Evil will not win," Montes assured, emphasizing the importance of helping good people when they fall on hard times.
The Houston Police Department continues to examine surveillance footage and pursue leads, as previously reported by KHOU.
Thankfully, the swift action by Montes means the Jordans can look forward to stability as they move into the holiday season with renewed hope.
