Thieves stole tools from work trucks in Graves County Sunday night

Thieves rummaged through trucks parked at a business in Graves County Sunday and stole hand and power tools.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office said that employees from Youngblood's Excavating called Monday afternoon to report equipment being stolen from their property. Surveillance footage from the business showed an SUV pull onto the property at around 10:30 p.m. Sunday. The video shows a male believed to be nearly 6' tall and weighing about 200 pounds rummaging through truck beds and toolboxes taking drills, saws, wrenches, socket sets, screwdrivers, and other items. He reportedly loaded the tools into the back seat of the SUV. A second person, believed to be a woman, was in the vehicle during the thefts.

The vehicle is described as a Toyota Highlander with a UK blue license plate. Anyone with information regarding the suspects or their vehicle is asked to call the Graves County Sheriff’s Office at 270-247-4501.
