Laptops stolen from John Deere dealership
KAMLOOPS – An equipment company catering to farmers and construction companies was targeted by a computer thief this weekend.
On Sunday, Jan. 25 at about 5 p.m., Prairie Coast Equipment on Dallas Drive was broken into. A smaller, dark coloured SUV was caught on video surveillance arriving at the front gate and the male driver was then witnessed hopping the fence to access the yard. He then broke into the office by smashing a window with rocks and took off with laptop computers.
The male was wearing a dark jacket, light jeans and light runners at the time.
Police are asking anyone who may have been in the area and have seen this vehicle on Sunday to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers online or at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

I sure hope that customer information wasn’t on these stolen laptops! If there was shame on John Deere for not notifying their customers! This is another breech of privacy on top of Life Labs. Maybe these companies should go back to the old way of paper instead of customers/clients have their personal information put out there for criminals and unauthorized staff to peruse at their leisure or to sell. this is getting ridiculous!
