Before we know it snow will be on the ground in the Hudson Valley, most of us are making sure we are ready to go with all of our snow removal equipment. We have our shovels, sand, snowblower "tuned up", gas for the snowblower, snowplows out, and ready to be put on a truck. Lots of preparation, but one suspect decided instead of buying his own equipment, he'd just head out and steal some from a local business.

According to the Dutchess County Sheriffs Departments Facebook page, an investigation is underway into the theft of sanding and plow equipment from a local business located in the Town of LaGrange. Police say the incident occurred around 7:45 p.m. on Friday night and are asking anyone who might have any information on the suspect pictured here...
