WHITTIER, Calif. (AP) – The California Highway Patrol says three men hijacked a truck hauling energy-efficient light bulbs and left the driver tied up on the side of the road.
CHP Officer Joe Zizi says the hijacking happened early Wednesday in Whittier, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
He says the trucker had just picked up his cargo when a big rig and a smaller truck forced him to the right shoulder of Interstate 605. Zizi says three men got out, tied up the driver and left him. The driver was not hurt.
Zizi called the hijacking unusual and "very brazen."
CHP Officer Al Perez says the big rig tractor has been found but the container of light bulbs is still missing. The shipment's value has not been disclosed.
