Southeast RCMP are seeking more information about the theft of a commercial diesel generator from the Village of Port Elgin.
Between 11pm and midnight last Saturday (November 30), police say the generator was unhooked and removed from within a fenced-in area.
The generator was used as backup power for the village water system.
Police say a vehicle and flatbed trailer equipped with a winch or small lift system would have been needed to remove the heavy piece of equipment.
The Kohler-made generator has a model number of 45REOZT4 and the serial number for this unit is SGM32KKG2.
It is white with blue panel doors on the back.
The generator is sold as a portable generator capable of being towed but the village removed the tires and had it sitting on wooden blocks.
Anyone with details about the theft is asked to contact Sackville RCMP at 506-364-5023 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.crimenb.ca
