TRUCKEE, CA - A Truckee man has
been arrested in connection with several thefts of Honda snowblowers in late
2012.
30-year-old Christopher Nelson is
charged with felony theft. The snowblowers retail for around $3000 apiece.
Truckee police say there may be
more people in on the burglaries, and the investigation is ongoing.
One machine has been recovered and
returned to its owner; four more are still missing. Anyone with information on
the whereabouts of any of these stolen snowblowers is encouraged to contact
Truckee PD Investigations at 530-550-2323.
You can pick up an electric snow blower for under $200
online from well known outlets; they are environmentally efficient, no
gas or other pollutants being emitted.
