Thieves target Kubota tractors in South Huron

Huron County OPP say officers are investigating the thefts of Kubota tractors in the Exeter area.

The first reported incident took place overnight on September 9, 2018, at a business located on Kirkton Road just east of Exeter. A Kubota L3010 tractor, a Kubota RTV utility vehicle and a Stihl backpack-style leaf blower were all stolen from a maintenance shed located on the property. The following day the stolen Kubotas were recovered in a parking lot in Exeter, however, the leaf blower remains outstanding.

The next incident took place in Exeter on Huron Street East sometime overnight on September 18, 2018. A thief attended the property and stole an orange 2016 Kubota tractor, model BX2670 valued at $15,000. The tractor had been parked near the residence garage.

That same night in Exeter a second Kubota tractor was stolen from an Abbey Lane residence. A dollar value has yet to be determined for this stolen tractor.
