Tow Owner Gets 5 Years for Vehicle Theft Scheme

Sherral Crawley, owner of No Limit Towing & Recovery, has been sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted in a scheme involving unauthorized vehicle tows, vehicle thefts, and fraudulent business practices.

The investigation began in late 2022 after complaints that vehicles were being towed from locations where No Limit Towing lacked authorization and that customers were being overcharged. A 2023 search of the company’s property uncovered evidence that some vehicles taken from private lots were later sold or demolished without proper legal procedures.

During sentencing, prosecutors presented testimony from law enforcement officers and several victims. One victim testified that vehicles belonging to her late father were improperly removed and never recovered. Another said she and her husband paid nearly $22,000 for a van sold by Crawley but never received a title, later learning the vehicle had been reported stolen.

The court ordered Crawley to pay $21,749 in restitution. Time already served on a separate Caroline County conviction will be credited toward her sentence.
