Stolen Construction Equipment from South KC

On 05-19-2013, a KENT F Series, KF 35 Qt, very large pneumatic hammer that attaches to heavy construction equipment like a track hoe was taken from Red Bridge and Hickman Mills in south Kansas City, Missouri.  The suspect was very familiar with construction equipment, as he was able to use a bulldozer to load the 8,000 pound piece of equipment onto the trailer and leave in about 45 minutes.

This piece of equipment is so large, it may just be used by the thief in his business or sold at a heavy equipment auction. If so, it may be stripped of its decals and repainted or disguised. ALWAYS be wary of any equipment that has been repainted, ESPECIALLY if it has been painted with a different color than the manufacturer, i.e. a green tractor that has been painted blue.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THIS THEFT, OR HAVE POSSIBLY SEEN THIS HAMMER, PLEASE CONTACT THE KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI POLICE DEPARTMENT, SOUTH PATROL DIVISION AT 816-672-2825
