MILWAUKEE - This thief may want to rethink his approach. Police arrested a 49-year-old man for allegedly stealing several large pieces of equipment from a lumber yard after detectives followed drag marks to his house.
The man allegedly took an engine, transmission, compressor and a bucket for a front end loader early Sunday, said Deputy Chief Brian O'Keefe. The equipment was worth about $4,500, he said.
The suspect apparently made several trips to his house about five blocks away, pulling the goods by a cable, leaving grooves in the road, O'Keefe said.
Detectives arrested him Sunday.
