Stolen equipment recovered

Construction equipment allegedly stolen from Atlanta was found at a residence in the 900 block of Youngs Mill Road using location-tracking technology on Monday.

An employee of an Atlanta company that rented the Bobcat-brand earth mover to a construction company used GPS to locate it after it was stolen from a job site in Fulton County.

Officers contacted the owner of the home where the equipment was located. The homeowner told police he’d purchased it at a location on Camp Creek Parkway in Fulton County. The man told police he had no idea the property was stolen.

The company that owns the equipment repossessed it and the incident is under investigation.
