Two individuals were caught on camera loading a ride-on lawnmower onto the back of a pickup truck at a local Lowes, reflecting a broader trend of increasingly bold criminal acts in America.
Around 2 p.m. the incident was recorded and footage showed two suspects, not yet identified, backing their pickup truck near the outdoor gardening section of the Lowe’s store.
The pair were seen frantically loading a high-end ride-on lawn mower onto the back of their vehicle before driving away. Authorities are currently reviewing the footage to identify the suspects.
Local police state that incidents like these are part of a nationwide increase in audacious criminal behavior. Authorities urge retailers to enhance their security measures and ask the public to report any suspicious activity.
The stolen lawn mower is estimated to be worth over $1,000. Police are asking anyone with information about the theft or the suspects to come forward.
