Authorities in western Kansas have recovered

roughly $1.3 million worth of farm equipment stolen from four

states.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday that a John

Deere tractor reported stolen from Colorado was found late last

week in Thomas County.

The KBI said a subsequent probe turned up a variety of other

equipment that had been reported stolen from Kansas, Colorado,

Nebraska and Oklahoma.

Agents from the KBI and FBI are helping seven western Kansas

sheriff’s departments with the investigation. The counties are

Cheyenne, Greeley, Rawlins, Scott, Sherman, Wichita and Thomas.
