Officials said on May 18, 2024, at approximately 8:10 a.m., troopers responded to a residence on Brick Granary Road in Lincoln for a report of a stolen vehicle. Upon arriving, troopers learned the victim’s 2024 silver Tesla Cybertruck with temporary New Jersey registration was stolen from his property by an unknown suspect. Troopers responded to the area where the victim’s Tesla was tracking and located the occupied truck on a dirt path off of Pinecone Drive.
