RCMP investigating theft of flat deck and skid steer
FORT MACLEOD — RCMP are investigating two separate thefts which took place on Tuesday evening (June 5) and Wednesday morning (June 6).
On Tuesday evening a lock was broken off the trailer hitch and a 20 foot black Oasis flat deck trailer was stolen from the parking lot at Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, West of Fort Macleod.
The next morning, a yellow CAT skid-steer was stolen from a construction site near 12 Street and Hwy 2 in Fort Macleod. Police say the equipment appears to have been driven from the site and onto Hwy 2 before being loaded onto a trailer about 500 metres South of 12 St.
It’s believed the two incidents are related, and that the stolen trailer was likely used to steal the skid steer.
