Sikeston DPS investigating stolen vehicle report

SIKESTON — Police are investigating a stolen vehicle report late Wednesday in Sikeston.

At 10:16 p.m. Wednesday officers with Sikeston Department of Public Safety responded to the Family Dollar Store, 209 W. Malone Ave., in reference to a dark gray Chevrolet HHR being stolen, according to DPS reports.

Capt. Austin Henley with DPS said the complainant told officers the vehicle was left running to warm up when a male approached the vehicle owner, asking to be let in the store. The vehicle owner attempted to open the store door, and when the driver turned around, the vehicle was gone.

As of early Friday, the vehicle had not yet been recovered, and the investigation continues.
