Stolen truck crashes through shelter fences

A suspect running from police crashed a stolen truck through multiple fences at the Valley Animal Center in Fresno.

The facility is a non-profit no-kill shelter and had been working for months to build a dog park with money raised through fundraisers.

The truck smashed through the heavy main security gate and then drove to the back of the complex where construction on the dog park was ongoing.

Rosie Davenport with the center said, "Our contractor is estimating the damages around $100,000 at this point, which is a big chunk of change for us. We've been fundraising for this dog park for many, many years. It's been a community effort to get it up and running so to have to turn around and tell the community that we've been set back is really, really disappointing for us."
