TULSA, Okla. – Friday afternoon Tulsa Police Department about 1:00 p.m. executed a search warrant on a property near Mounds, Okla. as part of their investigation into a stolen 1967 Mustang Shelby GT-500. Leut. Chase Calhoun of the Tulsa Police Dept states the vehicle was located and two more people have been arrested.

“This afternoon, Auto Theft Detectives recovered the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT-500 that was stolen from the Pearl District outside of downtown earlier this month. The GT-500 was covered with brush and cardboard boxes, and located in a very rural area near Mounds. The vehicle is intact, but the hood, doors, and front fender were all removed. The engine is intact, but the car has a lot of damage.”

Earlier this week one man was arrested and charged, 20-year-old, Nicholas Chamberlin.  He was charged with Larceny of an automobile and Burglary 2nd.

Tips from the public and interviews led detectives to this area. On Thursday an aerial search was conducted that led them to locating what they thought was the vehicle covered by brush and debris.  It was enough evidence to get an Okmulgee County judge to sign a search warrant and Friday afternoon the property was searched on foot.

Tulsa Police Auto Theft Detectives also found a stolen dump truck and a stolen sedan on the same property.

Charges have now been filed for Toni Morris and Roy Morris, who police say were also involved.  Charges have been submitted for Larceny of a motor vehicle and Burglary.  The vehicle was stolen from inside a locked facility where it was kept.

The investigation continues and Tulsa Police anticipate additional arrests in the case.

After processing evidence the car will be returned to its owner.
