Sheriff’s Office requests help identifying John Deere Gator thieves

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to help identify two burglary suspects after security cameras caught them stealing two John Deere Gators.

On July 27 the Sheriff’s Office received a call about a burglary at Potestio Brothers Equipment at 7380 Space Village Avenue. When deputies arrived on the scene, they learned employees noticed a lock for one of the gates on the property had been cut and the gate was open.

The first suspect is described as male, wearing a white trucker hat and black bill, black jacket with an emblem or name tag, and jeans. There is no description of the second suspect because he did not exit the vehicle.

The two stolen vehicles are a green and yellow 2019 John Deere Gator — model number 825MS4 and VIN 1M0825MBPKM020573 — and a green and yellow 2018 John Deere Gator — model number XUV835R and VIN 1M0835RATJM012113.

If you have any information about the burglary, recognize the suspect vehicle or knows either of the suspects, you can contact the EPCSO Dispatch Center at 719-390-5555 and ask for the On-Duty Supervisor.
