Members from the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating another theft of construction equipment that was reported on January 24, 2020.
Approximately $9,500 worth of tools have been reported missing from Steve Crowe Excavating located on Sharpe Road within the Industrial Park in the town of Brighton.
The theft is believed to have occurred on January 15, 2020, between the hours of 12:30 am and 2:30 am.
The owner went to retrieve some tools from a trailer that was parked on the north side of the company’s compound yard and found the bottom latch of the trailer was cut allowing the top latch to be swung open giving the appearance that the deadbolt was still intact and the trailer locked.
The list of tools taken include:
· Hitachi hammer rotary drill
· Milwaukee 18 volt combo set which included an impact driver, sawzall, grinder, drill, 3 batteries and chargers
· Stihl TS400 cut off saw

· Spectra Precision Laser Level 300 (serial number 118072)

Most of the equipment and tools are marked with the owners name or a sticker indicating Steve Crowe Excavating.
