Man Arrested for Stealing over $1-million in Construction Equipment

Another big construction site burglar has been caught. According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, Rashad Muhammad, 23, of the 5700 block of Tivoli Circle in Henrico County was arrested for stealing construction equipment valued at $1-million.

That is an enormous amount of equipment, there’s no way he was working alone. It would take a lifetime to steal $1-million worth of power-tools and the odds of getting caught would be very high, considering the local pawn shop would eventually catch on to his endless supply of tools. Therefore, he was more than likely stealing heavy equipment which is usually done in teams. And of course, it begs the question, who was purchasing $1-million worth of equipment from him? And will the buyers be prosecuted as well?
