COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
Columbus Police are on the
lookout for a bold thief who they say stole a Bobcat tractor worth $45,000 from
a local pool company on March 12.
Police say the crime was a
bold move. The suspect stole a Bobcat tractor from Aquarius Pools on Whittlesey
Blvd. in broad daylight.
One officer says, "This
guy was very brave and didn't care about anyone seeing him. It was during business
hours and he had a hard time backing up with that trailer and pulling the
trailer off. He backed up to it approximately five times."
The suspect is described
as a blonde male with a ponytail. He's about 6'0" with a thin build, and at the
time of the crime, he was wearing a dark colored baseball cap.
According to police, the
tractor was pulled away by a burgundy colored GMC truck.
"The truck is
probably a 2000 model with either an extended cab or a four door burgundy bed
liner. It has chrome mirrors on it, chrome front and rear bumpers, and it
backed up and circled around the building a few times and then came back. Then, he turned around and left with it,"
says the Officer.
The front loader Bob Cat
Tractor is orange, white and black and has a Stone Tramp on the front.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call Columbus Crimestoppers
at (706)653-3188, or send a tip by logging onto isolvecrime.com.
