Front End Loader Stolen, Burned In Flomaton
December 12, 2023
Flomaton Police are seeking information from the public after a front end loader was stolen and later set ablaze.
The front end loader was stolen early Monday morning from the former Air Products property on Railroad Street and driven along Junction and Dixon roads to Old Fannie Road. The loader was then parked in a curve at Old Fannie Road and Welka Road near the railroad tracks. Several parts were stolen from the loader before it was set on fire.
The Flomaton Fire Department responded to extinguish the blaze, and Escambia County (FL) Fire Rescue was called for assistance about 5:40 a.m.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811.

This story and the location strikes me as odd(not anything against NWE for reporting it). Disgruntled ex employee? Inside job? Just have to wonder especially where it states some things were taken off before it was burned. Not insinuating anything towards anyone in particular but it does strike me as strange.
People who do this must not have much to think about.
Disgruntal Employee???
Surely this big thing was caught on someone’s security cameras!!
Why call FPD?
According to FPD K-9 & Ghost Truck Officers, who were sitting in that exact spot running radar the afternoon of 12/7; “that’s not within our jurisdiction” as they watched a loaded 18 wheeler cross the low weight bridge!
If FPD cannot enforce the laws when they witness laws being broken; how can we expect them to enforce laws they don’t witness!
Ya got to be pretty desperate and with a lot of nerve to steal and burn a big front end loader!!!! I’m thinking when they catch you and they will can you accept going to jail and pay for the damage you created!!! Both will take a long time !!!!!
Guilty party should rot in jail.
