West Virginia police stop couple with $70k worth of stolen trucks 

Everything started on March 1, in Romney, West Virginia, where police officers responded to the theft of a Frontier Communications vehicle. With GPAs tacking, they found the truck near Bedford, Pennsylvania. 

Then a GMC truck was taken about 25 miles away from the first truck. Cops from the stolen GMC hauling a trailer that was also stolen. The driver was identified as 30-year-old Lindesy Teresi of Cumberland, Maryland. 

When she was arrested, her romantic male accomplice fled in the stolen Frontier that was also towing a trailer. But it was spotted at a campground west of Romney, a few days later. 

43-year-old Johnathan Church of Goldsboro, Maryland, and 43-year-old Jarel Schaefer of Denton, Maryland were living in a stolen camper at the site. It’s unclear which man is Teresi’s, but this is where the couple was headquartered. 

According to WV News, police officers record stolen side-by-side vehicles, another trailer, generators, and 11 firearms. The guns included illegal AR-14 rifles. 

Church and Schaefer are both convicted felons and wanted fugitives and Maryland and Delaware. Now Teresi won’t see either of them for a long time. 

They were charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property, felon in possession of a firearm, conspiracy, and fugitive from justice violations.
