"We start networking, we start the
ball rolling," Angel said.
Since cattle are worth money the
criminals usually try to sell them
after they steal them, Hedley said.
The Cattlemen's Association will
send a fax to all the sales barns
warning about the missing cattle that
may be stolen. The sales barns will
then keep an eye out for cattle that tit
the description.
"These cattle represent value,
they're an asset," Hedley said.
The RACT police officers also
assist regular uniform officers who
need help in solving or investigating
a crime. If an officer needs extra
help with questioning the public or
surveillanceRACT will be called.
Aside from animal theft, RACT
has been investigating a
number of recent thefts at
farm equipment dealerships, Angel
said.
Brian McGavin of the farm
machinery dealership McGavin's in
Walton has experienced theft at his
business several times. Three years
ago there was a major theft when tens
of thousands of dollars worth of
equipment was stolen. The thieves
hit on a holiday Monday night and
took a number of tools from the shop.
A couple nights later, when the new
tools had just arrived, the thieves
returned, stealing the brand new
tools. At this time there was no
alarms on their shop, only locks.
"I was always brought up to trust
everybody," McGavin said.
Since then McGavin's has added a
sensor security system, but there
have still been a couple theft
attempts. People have cut holes in
the roof and tried to get in, McGavin
said. When the alarms go off, he also
is notified at home and he
investigates.
"It's quite a feeling in the middle
of the night, wondering if you're
going to meet someone," McGavin
said.
Now McGavin's is planning to
fence off the yard where equipment
is stored. After hours people would
come by and look at the equipment,
and call the next day saying they
were interested, McGavin said.
Since things have been stolen from
the yard before, they are fencing it
for security reasons and to. please
