Firefighters with the Falls of Rough (KY) Fire Department have recovered some of the items stolen from their station sometime Tuesday night, or early Wednesday morning, but they are still missing items and are looking for help to retrieve them, according to a report published by K105 radio station.
According to the report, the station on Green Farms Road was burglarized and more than $10,000 worth of gear and equipment was stolen, including three sets of newly purchased turnout gear valued at $2,500 each.
Firefighters took a proactive approach to recovering the stolen items and patrolled back roads in the area looking for items the thieves may have discarded, according to the report. While on patrol, firefighters noticed a dirt bike in the back of a pickup truck that was allegedly stolen from an adjacent, privately owned building during the same time frame the station had been burglarized.
From that observation, burglary suspects were identified and some of the stolen equipment was recovered, although thousands of dollars’ worth of items remains missing, said the report and the case remains under investigation.
