Equipment stolen from Seekonk company

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.
