Aug. 27, 2013
Heavy equipment theft underscores importance of fleets securing their vital assets.

Someone apparently drove off with three pieces of heavy construction equipment from a private storage site overnight last Friday on Glenmont Road in Bethlehem, N.Y.

Town police said a private company notified them that a yellow 1998 Hyundai HL750 front end loader as well as 12' and 15' snow management attachments for the machine were missing from a parking site near River Road.

The items are worth around $30,000 police said.

It appears that the thief or thieves used a semi-tractor and a lowboy trailer to take the items sometime between Aug. 24th and 25th.

Anyone with information on this theft is asked to contact Bethlehem Police detectives at (518) 439-9973.
