Trailer, Equipment Stolen From Construction Site In Buckingham

BUCKINGHAM, PA — Thieves gained access to a locked construction site in Buckingham Township and stole more than $100,000 worth of tools and equipment, police said.

The theft happened sometime between 3 p.m. and 9:40 p.m., March 24, when two or more people gained access to the site by cutting through a locked gate. They then removed hundreds of tools, including drills, batteries and saws, according to the Buckingham Township Police Department.

Using what police believe to be their own key, they also made use of a Takeuchi excavator that was on site to move steel beams out of the way from the front of the trailer, which was reportedly packed with various construction and plumbing tools valued at more than six figures.

The trailer's license plate reads XJH-6493. Anyone with information can contact the department's detective bureau at 215-794-8813.
