Harris County, TX – Detectives with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Unit recovered three stolen vehicles last week that were hidden inside a stolen semi-trailer reportedly being prepared for shipment overseas.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the vehicles — valued at more than $200,000 — were located during an investigation into a larger vehicle theft operation. Authorities believe the semi-trailer was being used to conceal stolen vehicles before exporting them out of the country.
The recovered vehicles have since been secured and will be returned to their rightful owners, officials said. Detectives did not immediately release details on potential suspects but confirmed that the investigation remains active.
The department shared photos of the recovery operation on social media, emphasizing the importance of reporting suspicious activity involving large trailers or vehicle storage lots.
Anyone with information about the case or related thefts is urged to contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Division or Crime Stoppers of Houston.
