INNISFAIL – Police are searching for the thief who committed a brazen grab of a heavy-duty post pounder from a local business.
On Feb. 12, local Mounties responded to a report of a theft of a Wheatheart Renegade 13 horsepower heavy hitter hydraulic post pounder from an Innisfail business, said Innisfail RCMP Const. Jeff Erb in a news release issued today (Feb. 17).
