CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) - More than five months after someone stole a Chesterfield County fire truck, police announced an arrest in the case -- a former volunteer firefighter.
Kevin W. T. Burns, 27, of Sandbag Rd., is charged with grand larceny, according to Chesterfield Police.
"Burns had joined the department as a volunteer in December 2011, but was not active when the theft occurred on July 20, 2013," Chesterfield Fire and EMS spokesman Lt. Jason Elmore wrote in an email.
