S&S Towing allegedly towed away cars illegally then demanded cash for their return, police said
San Diego police are investigating a local tow company accused of exploiting communities throughout the county, particularly targeting migrants and non-English speakers, by towing legally parked vehicles and demanding cash in return, officials said Thursday.
S&S Towing could not be reached for comment Thursday. The company’s Yelp page lists the business as “closed,” and the number listed for the company’s after-hours dispatch service did not respond to multiple calls. He stated in the claim that his vehicle was towed less than 10 minutes after he’d parked, that S&S Towing was not the designated tow company listed on placards in the parking lot and that the company did not provide a copy of the tow authorization from the property owner.
In May, the City Attorney’s Office asked victims with claims to meet with investigators, lawyers and traffic officers, and learned S&S Towing was illegally impounding vehicles and violating other laws regarding towed vehicles, Ampol said.
