Show Police Follow Leads In Three Panguitch Thefts Law enforcement authorities, following up on some excellent clues and possible leads, continue the search for the thieves who were involved in three separate crimes on July 28 in Panguitch. At 7:30 that Sunday morning, Charlie Allen contacted the Panguitch Pan-guitch Police Department to report his two-tone blue 1984 Ford Sidestep Side-step had been stolen from in front of his residence. Chief Martin Nay issued an immediate im-mediate "Attempt To Locate" (ATL) while waiting for Allen to supply registration and vehicle identification numbers on the pickup. When the additional information in-formation was supplied, the vehicle was then listed on the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computer network. At 9:30 the same morning, Laura Mosdell reported to Nay that their shop at Jerry's Redi-Mix had been burglarized. The thieves had clipped the net wiring on the top extension of fence behind the veterinary clinic, gaining access to the Mosdell shop. Missing were between $10,000 and $15,000 in tools, tool cabinets, chests and a hydraulic floor jack. Evidence collected at the scene linked the burglary, which investigating investi-gating officers determined happened hap-pened between midnight and 6 a.m., to Allen's missing pickup The Mosdell family joined in the day-long search for the missing pickup and local pilot Terry Andrews An-drews was also called in to help in an air search of the area. The Mos-dells Mos-dells spotted the pickup about 5 p.m. south of Panguitch off the main road about four miles out on DeeDee Hollow Road. It had been jacked up and was missing all four rims and tires. The same day, Tom Reynolds noticed his semi-truck and flat-bed trailer parked close to his residence had been burglarized. Tires and boxes were missing, a window in the cab had been broken to gain access and evidence indicated the thieves had tried to find a way to start the truck.
