Cars, lawnmowers stolen from school district

Posted on April 8, 2010 by Staff

More than $83,000 worth of lawnmowers and automobiles were stolen from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools central office on Merritt Mill Road last week.

Police recovered one of the vehicles but are still looking for the other stolen lawnmowers and automobiles. According to police, suspects stole three John Deere 777 riding mowers, one John Deere 935 riding mower and three Steele weed eaters, valued at about $53,000. In addition, suspects took about $30,000 worth of automobiles, including a 2003 white Ford SRW Super-Duty, a 1993 white Chevy, a 1989 green vehicle and a 1983 red vehicle. Suspects accessed the parking lot where the mowers and vehicles were kept by cutting a chain on the gate to the lot.

According to police, officers have reviewed surveillance footage from the scene and the investigation is ongoing. Chapel Hill police officer Leo Vereen encourages anyone who sees suspicious activity to call 911.
