Police said someone entered multiple vans at Mansueto Hardwood Flooring Ltd., which is located in the unit block of Hagerty Boulevard in West Chester, managed to “punch the ignition” (a procedure that enables one to start the vehicle without a key), loaded all the tools from the other vans into this van, and fled.

Using the van’s GPS system – after the vehicle was discovered stolen on Friday, June 19, at 7 a.m. – detectives said they determined the van was in Philadelphia and contacted Philadelphia Police. A highway officer spotted the van, and a brief pursuit began, West Goshen detectives said.

Detectives said two men then abandoned the van in a parking lot of a senior housing complex in the 4600 block of Paul Street in Philadelphia; they fled on foot and have not been identified.

West Goshen Township Police said the entire video is available for review as well as the GPS information from the time of the alleged theft until the van was abandoned. Anyone who may be able to identify either man is asked to contact police at 610-696-7400.
