A Florida tow truck driver allegedly towed away a Honda Accord without first checking what was inside. Now, he’s facing felony charges.
According to Florida news outlet WPLG, on Sunday, December 14, 2025, 34-year-old Sergio Jesus Suarez, an employee of All-Ways Towing, hooked up a Honda Accord parked in front of Bistro Creole Restaurant on West Oakland Park Boulevard in Sunrise, Broward County. Police say Suarez believed the vehicle was illegally parked in a fire zone and began the tow without checking for occupants.
The car’s owner had briefly gone inside the restaurant and, when he saw his vehicle being hooked up, ran out yelling that his young daughter was still in the back seat. According to the arrest report and surveillance video, the father banged on the tow truck’s window and shouted repeatedly, but Suarez allegedly ignored the warnings and drove off.
