More than $1,300 worth of tools were reported stolen out of a worker’s truck early Monday morning that was in a Springfield hotel parking lot.

Springfield police responded around 6 a.m. Monday to the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Springfield, 1870 W. First St., on a call about a theft, according to a police report.

When officers arrived, an employee of CCI Industrial Service, out of Kentucky, said his Chevrolet work truck was parked in the hotel’s lot overnight after he returned from a job.

He said between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m., “an unknown suspect(s) took, without consent, power tools, assorted hand tools and drill bits from the bed of the work truck,” the report says. “The cab of the work truck was not entered and there was no damage done to the vehicle.”

The victim also told police “that all of the power tools have his initials engraved onto them.”

According to the report, the tools stolen include two Milwaukee impact drills, a hammer drill and accessories, three bags of assorted tools and drills bits, and a 3.5-inch grinder.

No suspect information was available.

Springfield police continue their investigation into this theft as the employee and his crew will be leaving for work in another city, then later returning to Kentucky.
