Thousands of Dollars of Industrial Equipment Stolen in Acadia Parish

Now, the photos of these pieces of equipment may not look like much, but remember: these losses amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Any business or person can barely take a loss of one piece of equipment, but it's even more accentuated when several items are stolen, and the dollar amount is massive.

What investigators know at this point is that the equipment thefts occurred in the 1800 block of Riverside Road in Western Acadia Parish.

The items were stolen between February 13 and February 19. The items that were stolen include the following
