SHIAWASSEE COUNTY — The size and scope of an investigation
headed by the Shiawassee County Sheriff’s Office into stolen
lawncare equipment continues to grow as the theft ring has now been
connected to three states.
Last week, two Taylor men were arrested after deputies accused them
of organizing a theft ring operating from the Upper Peninsula to
Metro Detroit. However, the sheriff’s office is now confirming that
the theft ring expanded into Ohio and Wisconsin as its
investigation continues.
The sheriff’s office also confirmed the investigation has recovered
approximately another $100,000 in stolen property. Authorities have
connected about $186,000 in stolen goods to the suspects.
... According to the sheriff’s office, the continued investigation led
detectives to subjects in Lapeer, Richmond, Chesterfield and
Columbus, as well as in Toledo, Ohio, Tuesday.
...
Authorities also seized more than 1,000 Vicodin pills, marijuana,
heroin, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and $17,500 in cash.
Last week’s bust in Taylor yielded three Kubota zero-turn mowers
valued at approximately $24,000; one Grasshopper zero-turn mower
valued at $8,000; two Cub Cadet zero-turn mowers valued at $12,000;
one Classic 28 foot-long enclosed trailer valued at $10,000; one
Honda all terrain vehicle valued at $8,000; three log splitters
valued at $4,500; one Kubota RTV valued at $10,000; and seven
Mercury and Tohatsu boat motors valued at $10,000.
Whoops - right in my back yard - but I swear - the Vicodin wasn't mine!
