Generator Stolen from Business in Sylvan Township

Deputies with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office are investigating the theft of a power generator at a business in the 2000 block of McKernan Drive in Sylvan Township.

The theft occurred during the weekend, according to police.

On March 4, deputies were dispatched to the business in response to a larceny complaint. Construction companies are working at the site building a new car dealership and had left a large pull behind generator, police said.

An unknown suspect or suspects cut the chain securing the equipment, hooked the generator up to a vehicle and drove away. Several tools with a total value of more than $9,000 were also removed, police said.

The generator is described as a Sulair, green in color, spare tire mounted on the tongue, fenders, and a rear bumper.

There are no suspects at this time.
