FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:Ranger_Seal

CONTACT: Laramie Adams
CELL: 512-922-7328

Raywood, Texas – Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Jimmy Belt and Liberty County Sheriff’s Office authorities are investigating the burglary of approximately $85,000 of equipment from the Raywood Livestock Market.

According to Belt, authorities received notification on Jan. 4 of a GMC diesel truck, a 20-foot lowboy trailer, a Bobcat skid-steer and a Kabota Excavator being stolen from the Raywood Livestock Market. The total value of the equipment was approximately $85,000.

Belt and Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Investigator Chris Ungles conducted the investigation. Belt and Liberty County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Johnston recovered the truck on Jan. 4, with the assistance of the Precinct 2 Constable’s Office. All other stolen equipment was recovered by Belt and Ungles on Jan. 7. The stolen property was recovered from three different locations in South Liberty County and the investigation is continuing.

“I appreciate the work of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office on this investigation,” said Belt. “This serves as an important reminder that equipment theft is frequently occurring, and locking-up anything of value is of utmost importance to prevent becoming a victim.”
