The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office says batteries have been disappearing from large commercial vehicles and heavy equipment that county, and they’re asking for people to keep their eyes open and phone in with tips.
During the past six weeks, they say Type 31 batteries have been taken overnight from trucks, buses and construction equipment in Elba, Oakfield, Batavia, Byron, Alabama and Alexander.
These batteries sell for as much as $300 and also have considerable scrap value as well.
