Miller Industries Gets Robbery on Camera

Approximately $200,000 worth of towing equipment was stolen from Miller Industries this week in Chattanooga, Tennessee and their video surveillance was able to get a clear photo of the theft in action. Unfortunately for the factory, their evidence has not yet led to any arrests.

Miller Industries is currently the largest manufacturer of towing equipment in the world. They are the developers of many popular towing brands, such as Century, Vulcan, Chevron, Challenger, Champion, Eagle, and Holmes. The factory in Tennessee is their primary location and has many ongoing projects, including one of their current tasks: building a brand new tow truck for Airport Towing. Our company has been buying new equipment from Miller since 1990 due to the quality of equipment they manufacture and their revolutionary technology in the towing industry.

At 11am Sunday morning, a white semi tractor drove up to the gate at Miller and cut the lock to the shipping area, reports The Chattanoogan. The truck hooked up to a semi trailer loaded with tow truck parts and accessories, then proceeded to drive down the Interstate. The semi truck that successfully escaped the scene of the crime is described as a white International tractor with a sleeper. The 50 foot long flatbed equipment trailer is marked as trailer number 5003 and has Alabama license plate #A063146.

Miller Industries reported that the trailer was loaded with six small wreckers, tunnel boxes, and other parts. The exact description of the items including serial numbers are as follows:

411 Conventional aluminum modular (411-4841-K09)

301 Express aluminum modular (301-1378-K09)

894 Conventional aluminum modular (894-01205-J09)

412 Conventional composite modular, white (412-4510-J09)

810 modular composite body, black (810-2648-K09)

807 dual winch aluminum (807-04485-J09)

The 411 and 894 have square rear tail lights, which were custom ordered.

Authorities have announced that there is a $1,000 reward for information regarding the stolen equipment, the tractor involved, or the suspects should the reports be useful in this case. To notify the authorities, call Crime Stoppers at 698-3333.
