The charity van of Inspired Vision Compassion Center went missing for two days last week. Pastor Karen Belknap said they parked the vehicle on North Masters Drive outside the campus of the nonprofit.
The CEO of Inspired Vision Compassion Center, Teadran White, asked for the suspects to return the van. She said they needed the van. Her statement was after authorities found the vehicle Thursday last week.
According to an article published by WFAA, police identified the suspects from the surveillance video in the parking lot. Staff spoke with the authorities regarding how suspects took away the 2020 Ram ProStart Cargo Van.
Vehicle Theft Incident
The staff who reviewed the footage from the CCTV revealed that the individuals involved in the vehicle were a family. They came to the center in another car. The worker said they registered for services and food at the center.
Then, they walked out of the facility with coats, groceries, and other supplies.
The two teens from the family headed toward the 2020 Ram ProStart Cargo Van. They drove off the park with their parents and followed them using their vehicle. The family came from Grand Prairie, Texas.
After the incident, a person called the Inspired Vision Compassion Center. Pastor Karen Belknap said the caller asked them for forgiveness.
