On February 1, 2019 at 4:30am, Bay Village Police cited a vehicle parked on Lincolnshire Drive near Sandalwood Drive for an over-night parking violation. While writing the citation, the officer noticed that the license plate information did not match the model of the vehicle. Additionally, there was gasoline leaking all over the road. The vehicle was towed and the owner was notified. The owner arrived at the BVPD to handle the situation. Once at the police station, it was determined that the owner recently purchased the vehicle at a very low price.
