THIEF USES HOMEOWNER’S TRACTOR TO LOAD A TRAILER, STEAL $24,390 IN EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING TRACTOR

A local Monterey man was startled to find that his barn and garage had both been burglarized. According to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, over $24,390 worth of items were stolen off Dripping Springs Road including trailers, a Kubota Mule 900, several tools, a chainsaw, a weed eater, and other equipment. The thief used the homeowners tractor to unload stuff off the big trailer. A neighbor stated that they saw a red pickup truck leave the property pulling a trailer with the Kubota, but figured the victim might have sold them. There are no suspects at this time.
