TYLER — A stolen vehicle has been found on fire at a Tyler auto dealership. Around 8:15 Sunday night, officers were dispatched to a service station at 1516 South Vine. A man told officers he parked his 1999 Chevy Suburban in front of the business and walked inside. A short time later, when he left the business, his vehicle was gone.
About 30 minutes later the Tyler Fire Department received a call of a vehicle fire at Tyler Ford at 2626 WSW Loop 323. The vehicle on fire turned out to be the same one that had been stolen from the gas station. Several new vehicles that were parked in the dealership parking lot were also damaged due to the fire.
