St. Landry Parish Crime Stoppers is asking for help in solving a theft of an excavator in the Eunice area.
On January 19, 2022, just before 1:00 am, unknown suspects entered the business yard of Construction Pro located at 5368 Hwy 190 Eunice and stole an excavator.

The description of the excavator is a 2018 Caterpillar model 305.5 with a serial number CR505996 and is valued at over $61,000 dollars.
The video also showed what appeared to be a white Chevy crew cab with a flatbed pulling a trailer with the stolen excavator. It was last seen heading south on Hwy 367.
