Man Tries to Make Off With Tractor Trailer

Man Tries to Make Off With Tractor Trailer - Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 4:59PM EST

BUTLER TWP., LUZERNE COUNTY- A man out on federal parole tries to steal from a trucking company, for the second time.

Victor Mayas of West Hazleton was caught Monday night in Butler Township. Police say he was back at the same place he stole from before, Martini Trucking in Butler Township.

Police say Victor Mayas tried to steal a tractor trailer from Martini Trucking here. Butler Township Police Chief Charles Altmiller says, "The Martini's have put a lot of money and effort into securing their effort into securing their area up there, but apparently the perpetrators still seem to think that crime pays."

Chief Altmiller says Mayas planned to steal a truck Monday night. That's when he was arrested. Mayas was caught on Martini's lot with a stolen case of beer from a truck. Police say he spied on Martini's the day before his arrested.

And this isn't the first time Mayas targeted Martini Trucking. He was arrested two years ago when he stole from Martini’s and many other when was part of a cargo theft ring. Mayas was out on federal parole for those thefts. Police won't say if they believe the theft ring he was part of is back up and operating.

Chief Altmiller is pleased his officer was in the right place at the right time. Chief Altmiller says, "He put a lot of effort into it. It paid off, he was just setting up his stake out and the perpetrator came on scene and it all worked out."

Police say someone tried to make off with a Martini tractor trailer last week. A security gate stopped that truck. Police aren't sure if that person was Mayas or not.
