STOW, Ohio – The Ohio State Highway Patrol has recovered a military Humvee stolen from the Ohio National Guard Armory located in Stow, Ohio.

The Patrol responded to the Armory, 4630 Allen Road, on March 22, at 3:30 p.m. Troopers discovered the suspect(s) cut through a chain link fence and made entry into a secured area where the Humvee was stored. The Humvee was locked at the time of the theft, but the suspect(s) disabled the locking mechanism and drove the vehicle off the premises.
