3200 block of Chillum Road: At about 2:30 am officers responded for the report of a suspicious tow attempting to tow a vehicle. The reporting person told the officers that she was awakened by the sound of a car alarm. She looked out on the parking lot and saw a tow truck in the process of towing a Jeep Cherokee that belonged to a friend. She was able to convince the driver of the tow truck not to tow the vehicle by paying the driver a $50 “drop” fee. After getting her vehicle released she notified police of the incident. The officers contacted the owner of the tow company, Drive Towing, who told them that the person described by the reporting person as the driver of the tow truck did not match the description of any of his employees. This information led the officers to believe that the tow truck and its driver were imposters and residents should be on the lookout for any tow truck labeled as Drive Towing and report it to police by calling our Communication center at 301-985-6565/6566.
