The Solano County Auto Theft Task Force successfully recovered stolen agricultural machinery in Winters, a combined heist valued at nearly $95,000. The seizure was carried out by a team that included Deputies and CHP Officers, as well as members of the Solano County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Bureau and the SET, indicating a high level of inter-agency cooperation against vehicle and equipment theft.
The search warrant, served on November 13, targeted a property on County Road 88 and led to the location of a tractor and baler reported missing since September 3 from Dixon, California. No arrests have been announced thus far as the investigation continues; the task force's persistence highlights the ongoing battle against theft in agricultural communities. Details about the recovery were shared in a social media post by the Solano County Sheriff's Office.
While the recovery is a win for the task force, the search for those responsible for the theft marches on, and law enforcement officials are appealing to the public for assistance. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Solano County Sheriff's Office at (707) 784-7050 or make use of the Auto Theft Task Force tip line at (707) 784-1963.
