SEEKONK, Mass. (WPRI) -- Police are searching for suspects after a Seekonk landscaping company had expensive equipment and a pickup truck stolen from them.

Cryan Landscape Contractors, Inc. tells us that thieves broke into their fenced yard, located at 102 Pond St., during the early hours of Saturday morning.

They broke into three locked trailers and stole backpack blowers, hedge trimmers, weed whackers, and a large push blower. They loaded it into the back of one of the company's marked Ford F350 utility trucks and crashed through a locked gate and a fence to get away.

Cryan received a call from residents of Finch Avenue in Pawtucket, who said that a truck with the company's logo on it had been sitting outside of their house for a couple of days. The truck was heavily damaged and contained none of the stolen equipment.

Police are currently examining the vehicle for evidence. In the meantime, Cryan Landscape has issued a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone with information regarding the crime is asked to contact the Seekonk Police Department at (508) 336-7027.

Equipment stolen from Seekonk company

Foy and Colleen Sulyer said they have tried to get the landscaper they hired to level their yard or, at the very least, fill in the holes in their newly-landscaped yard.

They said the man tells them he will show up and take care of it but neverdoes.

Ill tell ya, its a mess, Foy Sulyer said.

If it looks like Sulyer is playing hop scotch in his yard, youre close.

Hes actually trying to keep from tripping and falling in the landmine of holes hidden in his yard.

But I dont figure its my fault, he said.

Last year Salyer contacted Mahans Lawn and Landscape of Chickasha to install grass and landscape the yard of his new home.

He said he paid DewayneMahan nearly $15,000 to get the job done.

So he just took after it and away he went. Sulyer said.

The first payment was acheck in the amount of $13,933.68.
