    LIBERTY, Missouri (KCTV) — Clay County deputies arrest a suspected thief who is accused of trying to drive away with thousands of dollars worth of stolen property.

The owner of the property called the sheriff’s office after seeing a black truck pulling a trailer near Route 210 Highway and Raines Road. The owner said the driver of the truck did not have permission to be there.

Deputies arrived as the driver of the truck left the property. The officers said they counted five pairs of industrial HVAC blower motors on the trailer, as well as some tools.

Deputies said the driver eventually admitted he planned to sell the motors for scrap.

The suspect is in police custody and is facing larceny charges.
