Expensive farm equipment has been recovered and a suspect jailed after an investigation by the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives and deputies were able to recover tractors, fourwheelers and a tractor allegedly taken from Bedford County farmland by Douglas Bowen, 19, of West Jackson Street, said Detective Lt. John Sweeney.
James Farrar of Shelbyville notified the BCSO he’d found two four-wheelers belonging to him on Christiana-Fosterville Road in Rutherford County.
The four-wheelers had been taken from a shed on his property near Shelbyville a few days earlier, Detective Lt. John Sweeney said.
Deputies recovered a tractor/ front loader stolen from a barn on Trott Road and a cattle trailer taken in Warren County at a nearby residence, Sweeney said.
Bowen is charged with two counts of theft of property with a $35,000 bond set, according to Bedford County Jail records.
