The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of a bag filled with tools from a pickup parked outside a home in the 2500 block of Bluff View Drive in the Jefferson County Portion of Fenton. Altogether the bag and tools were valued at about $1,180, police reported.
The victim said he parked his 2021 Ford F-150 outside his home at about 10:30 p.m. Jan. 22 and at about 8 a.m. Jan. 23, he discovered a tool bag was stolen. The man said the bag contained an impact drill and other tools, the report said.
The bag filled with tools was stored in a toolbox in the bed of the pickup. The victim said the toolbox had been locked, but investigators said the toolbox was not damaged and there were no signs it had been forced open.
As of Jan. 25, neither the bag nor the stolen tools had been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, spokesman Grant Bissell said. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call the Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515.
