Black SUV Tree Thief Targets Nurseries

A shady scam is terrorizing nurseries in the Valley, with thieves hitting multiple spots using stolen credit cards and a signature black SUV with a trailer to steal thousands in ficus trees. Victims report losses up to $5,000, and security footage has captured the same vehicle and suspect in multiple thefts—possibly even flipping trees online or planting them for future jobs. With at least eight nurseries targeted and reports scattered across departments, authorities are still piecing it together, but the culprit remains unidentified and on the loose.
