Detectives need information about a Bobcat stolen earlier this month from a construction site at the Bahia Honda Bridge.
The Bobcat, valued at $24,500, was reported stolen March 2nd from inside a fenced area where it was stored with other construction equipment. Evidence indicated suspects cut the wire ties on a fence, drove the Bobcat out of the fenced area and then loaded it onto a truck.
Detective Sheila Seago is assigned to investigate. She says the Bobcat has one unusual feature that someone might recall if they saw it, or that may help to identify it. It has a U-shaped piece of channel iron welded to the back end, on the right hand side.
