Police investigate theft of bobcat and trailer

Detective Paul van Emmerick from Shepparton police said the vehicles were heavy machinery and would weigh tonnes.

"The vehicle's tonnage is quite high and you would need specialised trailers especially to move the bitumen roller,'' he said.

"It couldn't be moved without people seeing or knowing."

The policeman said he believed the theft "must have been well planned".

Anyone who has any information they think would help with the investigation should phone Det van Emmerick on 5820 5800 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
