Tractor and four-wheeler stolen from garage on Valle Drive this morning

By Howard B. Owens

Sheriff's investigators are looking into a brazen daylight garage break-in in which the thief (or thieves) got away with three large items.

Stolen this yesterday morning from 27 Valle Drive, Batavia, was a John Deere tractor with a snow plow attached, a Yamaha Blaster four-wheeler and four snow tires that fit a 2005 Pontiac G6.

The burglars smashed a window to get into the garage between 9 and 10:15 a.m. and left through the overhead garage door, leaving it open.

Anyone with information that might help solve this crime are encouraged to call the Sheriff's Dispatch Center at 345-3000, Ext. 1.

Ok, I have waited since this was posted for someone to comment, but no one has. Howard you posted this at 9:44 this morning, and the robbery was between 9:00 & 10:15! How did you do that!

Lucy,
Howard is a journalist. The old, he who smelt it dealt it theory doesn't hold water in this case. I'm not sure that's what you were implying, but it sounded like a funny comment when I typed it and really, I only comment to amuse myself.

I'll correct. It was yesterday. I just looked at the PR again. I heard something about Valle Drive on the scanner this morning, which got me thinking today.
