De Soto Police are investigating the recent theft of nearly $11,000 in equipment from an AT&T work truck parked in the 100 block of East Pratt Street, Chief Jeff McCreary said.
AT&T workers last saw the tools in the vehicle at about 8 p.m. June 15, and the theft was reported at about 8:30 a.m. June 16, McCreary said.
“The vehicle, a 2020 Ford F-450 work vehicle, was parked in a fenced-in area,” he said. “The fencing and barbed wire were intact. The vehicle may have been unlocked.”
Among the items stolen from the truck were three meters, each of substantial value, McCreary said.
He said no items had been recovered and no arrests had been made as of June 22. Anyone with information is urged to call the De Soto Police at 636-586-8891.
