Hammond Police Department detectives helped Louisiana State Police Thursday recover stolen property at 1160 Caroline Drive in Hammond.
State police troopers had search warrants based on information that stolen property was stored at the address, Lt. Tommy Corkern said.
Among the property recovered was a Case 580L backhoe, a Kabota tractor/front end loader, three four-wheelers, several tractor and 18-wheeler truck tires, a 40-foot metal container, an 18-wheeler chassis for hauling the container and various power tools.
Some of the stolen property came from Shreveport, Texas and Mansfield, Corkern said.
The Kabota tractor was stolen two years ago from the Hammond Square Mall area. The 40-foot metal container was stolen from Houston.
Police are asking that anyone who has been to police headquarters recently to try to identify their property to please return because detectives have recovered a large volume of additional property, some of which may belong to local citizens.
