The Weld County Sheriff’s Office provided tips this weekend as thefts of tools from construction sites and oil and gas facilities have continued in the past week.
The sheriff’s office recently issued an announcement about an uptick in such thefts and has since received several more reports of tool thefts, according to a news release issued Friday.
Victims have reported thefts all over the county, but the highest concentration of tool thefts has been in Del Camino, the Hill-N-Park neighborhood and the south side of the county, from Weld County Road 6 to the Adams County line. The items reported stolen include small hand and power tools, as well as higher ticket items such as generators, air compressors, demolition tools and other large equipment.
In the past week, it appears thieves have focused more on small tools without serial numbers, according to the sheriff’s office.
To prevent tool theft, the sheriff’s office provided the following tips:
- Take an inventory of your tools, noting the serial numbers for high-ticket items.
- Mark low-ticket items with your name or company logo for easy identification.
- Do not leave tools out in the open at the jobsite or in the bed of your pickup.
- Store tools securely, whether that’s in a storage container at the site or by bringing tools
into your garage at the end of the workday. - If storing tools onsite, be sure to purchase high-quality locks.
- Be wary of your surroundings and report suspicious people and activity by calling 911.
Anyone with information about the thefts or any other crime is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (970) 356-4015 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com.
