(KMZA)--The Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Department has launched an investigation following the recovery of two stolen trucks.
Sheriff Greg Riat says the trucks, which were stolen from a Manhattan business, were found abandoned last Saturday morning in the 8-thousand block of Hopkins Creek Road in rural St. George. It was discovered that various tools and equipment were missing from the trucks.
Riat says it’s believed the trucks belonging to H & L Electric were stolen the night before they were found.
The value of the tools and equipment removed from the vehicles was estimated at more than $500.
Anyone with information on the crime should contact the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office at 785-457-3353.
