KSP troopers in London say that two suspects were arrested in connection to the theft of a skid-steer loader from the Wilson Equipment Company on Wednesday.
Troopers say that a man brought a counterfeit cashier’s check to Wilson Equipment Company on Wednesday and purchased a 2013 Case SR220 skid-steer valued at $30,000.
The check was for $28,750.
On Thursday, the owner of the equipment company in Corbin was contact by a construction company in Toledo, Ohio and informed that three suspicious men attempted to sell them a skid-steer at a very low price.

The caller said that he noticed the Wilson Equipment Co. logo on the side of skid-steer and called to see if it had been stolen. That is when the owner of Wilson Equipment Company called his bank and discovered the check was fraudulent.
Through a joint investigation between KSP, the Toledo Police Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, they were able to find and arrest Andre R. Brown, 36 of Toledo and Brett A. Taylor, 30, of Lambertville, Michigan. They are both in the Lucas County Jail and charged with Receiving Stolen Property.
More charges and arrests are expected.
