With weeks passing and officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department having no luck tracking down the stolen truck, Abusamara took the situation into his own hands.

Abusamara recently purchased a new truck and reopened the Midnight Grill on University City Boulevard near Thomas Combs Drive. He told Channel 9 that the money collected from a GoFundMe page will help him pay for new appliances.
