The vehicle was seized along with all the property in the passenger compartments of the vehicle. A Marshall County Deputy responded to Fulton County for a follow up investigation. The deputy learned details about the incidents in Marshall as well as other incidents in surrounding counties. An inventory has been made of the property. Deputies will make contact with various victims should any of the property be items that have been reported stolen.
