Stolen Truck and Trailer Found, Backhoe Still Missing
April 17, 2010
The 18-wheeler stolen from a Flomaton business last month has been recovered, but a backhoe worth thousands is still missing.
The burglary occurred between 5 p.m. March 4 and 5:45 a.m. March 5 at CharCo, Inc. on Highway 31 in Flomaton, according to Flomaton Police Chief Terri Tolbert. The business reported about $250,000 worth of equipment missing, including a 2003 Peterbuilt truck pulling a 1996 blue Fontaine lowboy trailer with a yellow John Deere wheel loader backhoe. According to police, someone had cut a chain and lock to enter a fenced area where the equipment was located.
The big rig was located recently in Sheffield, Alabama, by Alabama State Troopers and returned to Charco.
Anyone with information on the crime or the still-missing backhoe is asked to contact the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811 or their local law enforcement agency.
