CCSO officials say that on Saturday, May 10, the department received a report on a theft involving a John Deere skid steer and a John Deere mini excavator stolen from a job site near Reno Avenue and South Richland Road sometime between May 3 and May 9.

The investigation revealed that the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) ran a vehicle identification number (VIN) on the stolen skid steer on Tuesday, May 6, tracing back to a private sale involving a witness who had purchased the skid steer from the alleged seller for $6,000, according to CCSO.
