GENERAL NARRATIVE
On January 18, 2022 at approximately 7:00 PM, a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Pickup was stolen while it was parked and unoccupied, with the keys left inside of it, in the parking lot of East Stone Commons, located at 2003 North Eastman Road in Kingsport. The following afternoon, the vehicle was recovered, abandoned in the parking lot of a downtown Kingsport apartment complex.
