A Roto-Rooter van stolen twice from a Rialto resident was stripped of all its heavy equipment and abandoned in front of a residence equipped with surveillance cameras.
Police initially warned that the van might be involved in other crimes in the Las Colinas neighborhood, but said in a statement Friday that the vehicle "was not involved in any other crimes."
The van (pictured below) was spotted being followed by another van, according to a release by the Rialto Police Department.
