Due to a number of thefts in northern counties, the Warsaw Police Department is urging local construction businesses to be extra cautious.

"Businesses should take precautions to ensure equipment won't be tampered with," said Warsaw Det. Steve Adang.

A rash of construction site thefts in St. Joseph, LaPorte and Elkhart counties has prompted the Warsaw Police Department to encourage local businesses to take extra steps to secure heavy equipment.

According to Adang, many pieces of heavy equipment such as backhoes, attachments, earth movers and other machinery have been stolen from construction sites. In some cases, the equipment has been stolen along with its transport trailers and other equipment.

"We want (local business) to be aware that quite a bit of heavy duty equipment and attachments have been stolen," said Adang.

No local thefts related to the incidents in other counties have been reported in Kosciusko County. [[In-content Ad]]
