DURANT, Okla. -- Police in Durant are looking for whoever stole over $50,000 worth of utility equipment from a Durant business early Wednesday morning.

Five side-by-side Kubota utility vehicles were stolen from Texoma Utility Equipment about 1:40 Tuesday morning. Those vehicles sell for roughly $10,000 each.

Manager Kyle Richardson says they do have surveillance video of the heist, and that this is not the first time his business has been targeted by thieves. Burglars got away with over $100,000 in equipment in a similar heist in January.

"The video shows what appears to be a heavy-set white male and a slim black male loading the vehicles onto what looks like a green semi truck with a flatbed trailer," Richardson said.

Police are reviewing the video as part of their investigation.

If you have any information about this incident, you are asked to call the Durant Police Department or Texoma Utility Equipment at 1-800-444-9142.
