Someone apparently likes to steal Stihls.
Brimfield police said that nearly 60 sheds and barns have been broken into over the past three months in Suffield and Randolph townships and Brimfield.
More than 100 Stihl power equipment products as well as other items have been stolen, according to a post on the Brimfield Police Facebook page. Stihl makes gasoline and electric chain saws, blowers, trimmers and more.
Police posted pictures of two male suspects, one with a possible leg brace, and a work van taken via a video camera in a barn in Suffield Township. The photos were supplied by the Portage County Sheriff’s Office.
The photos show a Ford work van with two pipe holders on the left side and ladder rack on right side, police said. The van also has an add-on hitch on the back with an upward curved receiver and a possibly stolen ladder tied down using rope from the barn.
The video shows that both males limp with their left leg, police said. The driver possibly has a brace on his left leg, they said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Portage County Sheriff’s Office at 330-297-3890. Callers may remain anonymous.
