MILFORD: The theft of an 18-foot trailer with two Kubota mowers from the CCRCE bus compound at Hants East Rural High in Milford is under investigation.

East Hants RCMP S/Sgt. Cory Bushell said police was alerted to the theft on June 20, although the theft is expected to have occurred overnight June 19.

He said two Kubota ride-on mowers were stolen along with the 18-foot trailer they were loaded on.

Both Kubotas are GF1800-4WR-2 19 HP DLS 1-HST 4WD ROPS:

–       2020 Serial # 10359

–       2021 Serial # 10412 with about 50 hours on it.

“The trailer is a 2020, 18-foot galvanized Maxi-roule with an aluminum checkered plate storage box that is mounted between the front rails,” said S/Sgt. Bushell.

The N.S. plate is T475722.

S/Sgt. Bushell said there is some irony between this and a previous theft.

“As a peculiar coincidence, last year two Kubota mowers on a trailer were stolen from the same compound on the same weekend,’ he said.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be a dark colored extended cab pick-up. Photos of the suspect vehicle and stolen machines are attached.

Police suspect these matters may be connected and are looking to speak to anyone who has information.
