A Salem man was arrested Sunday on theft charges after state police said they found a missing farm tractor worth $15,000 parked at his home, according to court papers. Gary A. Lauffer, 54, told troopers that he took the tractor from a nearby dairy farm to do work on his property.
He didn’t have permission to use or take it, according to court papers.
A serial number found on the farm tractor at Lauffer’s property matched that of one given to investigators by Turner’s officials. The tractor also had a Turner’s sticker on its hood, police said.
