A West Kelowna man is worried about his livelihood after his 85-foot tractor-trailer was stolen from his locked compound this morning (Friday).
Scott Horovatin with J&T Holdings Ltd. says the truck was stolen shortly before 3 a.m., and the thief must have known what they were doing.
“You would have to know how to drive a truck, and you could tell they obviously knew what they were doing,” says Horovatin. “The way they pulled out of our yard, they knew how to take a big corner, so they knew what they were doing.”
Horovatin says the thief broke the lock on the gate of their compound in West Kelowna, and then broke into the truck.
He says as a logging contractor, this truck is crucial to his work.
“This is our livelihood, this is how we move all of our equipment around, how we get from job site to job site. That truck is also used to transport logs. It is a very important piece of our company.”
The truck and trailer are nearly brand new and in excellent condition according to Horovatin.
The truck (pictured above and below) is described as a white 2014 Kenworth, with a tan coloured 2008 Peerless lowbed trailer.
Cst. Goodwin with the West Kelowna RCMP is investigating and asks anyone who may have seen the truck, or have information on the theft, to call him at 250-768-2880.
