RCMP in two provinces are asking for the public’s help to locate stolen tractors.
In B.C., a Kubota tractor went missing from a property at 5 a.m. on the morning of July 7 from a business on the 1000 block of Stevens Road, West Kelowna RCMP say.
Businesses in the area include Avenue Machinery, a full-line Kubota dealer. It’s not confirmed if the tractor went missing from the dealership.
The missing tractor is model number M4N-071HDCC1 and has an estimated value of more than $70,000.
Surveillance footage shows a white pickup truck with a flatbed trailer attached and the tractor on top.
A similar crime occurred at the same business on June 4.
During that incident, thieves drove the tractor through the fence before loading it onto a trailer, Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers says.
Anyone with information about these missing tractors is asked to call 1-800-222-8477 and reference file 2024-37875.
In Saskatchewan, the Weyburn-Radville-Fillmore RCMP is searching for information on a stolen red tractor.
