Multiple crimes were reported in Fayette County during the early hours of Saturday, Dec 16, 2023. One of the calls came early Saturday morning, reporting a fire at Mayers Farm Equipment, 1812 SR 734, Jeffersonville. This is located in Fayette County.

After the fire was extinguished, initial reports determined the business had been broken into, and several items were stolen prior to a fire being started inside of the office and parts areas.

Substantial damage was reported, however Mayer Farm Equipment has been able to remain open for business as usual.

Investigators are asking for help identifying the owner of a red pickup truck that was seen leaving the business early Saturday morning. (See pictures) Any tips may be made anonymously by calling: 740-335-6170 or emailed to: [email protected]
