Police said a load of lumber and plumbing pipe worth $100,000 was stolen from a semi-truck on Highway 58.

James Reedy Jr. said he parked the International semi-truck that he drives for McElroy Truck Lines in the parking lot of BI-LO and returned on Sunday to find it missing. Shattered glass was found in the space where the truck had been.

Police found the truck that was left running on the Rossville Boulevard ramp to I-24 eastbound.
