Truck with airport security passes stolen http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-041026truck,1,2007401.story By Gina Kim Tribune staff reporter Published October 26, 2004, 8:28 AM CDT
A flatbed truck stolen from a Lansing business over the weekend contained security passes that allow entry to the Chicago region's two major airports, but security officials believe the thieves were only after the equipment in the vehicle. The 2000 GMC truck contained passes for O'Hare International and Midway Airports as well as a Chicago water filtration plant, authorities said. The vehicle was discovered stolen Sunday along with other equipment including a backhoe and a utility trailer, said Lansing Police Department Sgt. Dennis Murrin. Thieves during the night took the $100,000 worth of gear from Meccon Industries Inc. in the 2700 block of Bernice Road after cutting through a heavy-duty lock on a back gate, Murrin said. As a precaution, police contacted the Department of Homeland Security and state hotline for terrorism. But investigators said it was unlikely the burglars were seeking the security passes. "At this point in time, we don't have any reason to suspect any type of terrorist incident here," Murrin said. The equipment had not been recovered as of Monday night.
