STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A South Shore man is back on his delivery route on Tuesday, more than a week after his truck was stolen from a lot in Charleston where commercial vans apparently were targeted by thieves.
Kurt Lillo Jr. is grateful that a tipster who reached out to the Advance/SILive.com after reading about the theft led to the recovery of his 16-foot box truck on an access route to the Staten Island Expressway in Willowbrook on Monday.
