Tulare Co. investigates 2 major farm-related thefts

Two major farm-related thefts are under investigation by the Tulare County Agriculture Crimes Unit, Tulare County sheriff's deputies said.

On Tuesday, investigators were dispatched to Valvov and Sons Farms south of Corcoran, where 11 radiators and two batteries were stolen from tractors. The amount of the loss was estimated at $17,550.

The theft is believed to have occurred between 7 p.m. Monday and 8 a.m. Tuesday.

And in the Strathmore area, investigators are looking into the theft of a trailer loaded with two yellow portable toilets and approximately 40 ladders. The amount of the loss in that case was estimated at $8,000.

The trailer was parked near Road 220, north of Avenue 196.

You have to wonder what the theifs are going to do with two portable toilets and 40 ladders?? I have to believe there was something better they could have taken!

Happy Friday,
Alex
