MCSO spokesperson Adam Linhardt said at around 7:55 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies responded to Arnold’s Towing, located at 5540 Third Ave. on Stock Island, after receiving reports of the theft.
“Security video showed two men, later identified as Stien and Yetman, forcing the yard gate open, causing approximately $5,000 in damage and leaving in a Chevrolet Camaro,” Linhardt said.
Linhardt said deputies later stopped the Camaro, which had been previously towed and impounded, on U.S. 1 in Marathon and arrested the pair, who were wearing the same clothes they were in the video.
He said Stien admitted the car was stolen.
The pair were scheduled to be arraigned in Monroe County court May 5, jail records show.
