[STOLEN] Sheriff’s Office Tracks Down and Recovers an ‘Invisible’ C7 Corvette

The owner of an Arctic White 2019 Corvette Stingray had plenty of law enforcement officers searching for his stolen sports car in north Texas this week.

But even though the cops were able to track the car’s movement through signals from an electronic tracking device, they still couldn’t spot the spiffy vehicle anywhere … At first.

It all went down Wednesday in Wichita County, where Sheriff David Duke and an assorted collection of lawmen were waiting … and waiting … and waiting for the car to show up.

“We heard it when they were coming through Bellevue, so we jumped up and headed out on U.S. 287. I was the other side of the Wilson overpass, and I was going to set my spikes up. Meanwhile, we had three other units setting out spikes,” Duke told the Wichita Falls Times Record News.

The sheriff set out his spikes and started waiting for the Corvette to pass by, along with a collection of fellow officers that included 10 sheriff’s units, nine Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and several Wichita Falls police units “ready to pounce on this thing,” Duke said.

But there was nothing to pounce on.

“I got binoculars and there’s not one single Corvette coming by. So we ask dispatch where it’s at and they say it’s around the Quik Stop by Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls,” the sheriff said.

“What the crap? They did not get past about 19 deputies and troopers. So, we’re like, something’s not right. So I gathered my sticks and put them back in the car, thinking, ‘Dadburn it!'”

Deputies decided to take a ride to the Quik Stop, where they spotted a dually pickup truck pulling an enclosed trailer in the back of the parking lot.

“So the deputy says, ‘Hey, buddy are you hauling anything?’ and the guy says he’s not hauling anything. So the deputy walks down and sees a little side door open. He looks in there — there’s that white Corvette,” Duke said.

“So we detain the guy and he’s got all kinds of ‘Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m taking it to Amarillo’ and this kind of crap,” Duke said. “The tag on the pickup is from Washington state. The tag on the trailer is from Georgia. This dude is not from around here.”

Deputies subsequently arrested Jerreh Korrah of Covington, Washington, and the real owner of the Corvette was notified his car had been recovered.

Korrah, meanwhile, is in the Wichita County Jail facing a charge of theft over $30,000 and under $150,000, a crime punishable by up to two years behind bars.
