BRUNSWICK
Brunswick police are working to find out who loaded $30,000 worth of snow blowers from a Pleasant Street business into a U-Haul truck on Sunday night and drove away.
Brunswick Police Cmdr. Mark Waltz said the theft of 12 snow blowers from Chad Little Outdoor Power Equipment was reported to police Tuesday morning and was believed to have occurred Sunday night. The machines were still in their boxes.
The police department has pictures posted on its Facebook page of the U-Haul truck caught on video surveillance at Chad Little, located at 181 Pleasant St.
The post states that at around 10:53 p.m., a U-Haul truck drove into the parking lot and the suspects remained on scene for approximately one hour. Numerous Honda snow blowers and utility ramps were stolen.
“The only distinguishing feature visible on the truck was a zebra head Idaho design on the side of the box,” police wrote on the post. “When the truck left, it headed outbound on Pleasant Street toward I- 295.”
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying whoever is responsible for the crime.
Anyone with information can contact Brunswick police officer Patrick Mahar at (207) 721-4334 or [email protected]; or Detective William Moir at (207) 721-4321 or [email protected]. Send anonymous tips to [email protected].
Waltz said he is not aware of any other similar thefts of snow blowers in the area.
