FBI Seeks Help Finding Trucks

Thieves in Yuma County stole three specialized power line maintenance trucks and more than $100,000 in tools used to work on major power lines over the weekend, and the FBI is seeking the public’s help tracking down the thieves.

The trucks and tools were stolen from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Gila Substation Maintenance Facility sometime between 5 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday, the FBI said. The tools and equipment are used to maintain the high-voltage power grid and specialized knowledge is needed to use them.

There is no known terror threat from the theft and young people are known to hang out in the area.
