IF YOU SAW SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING:
APD seeks public's help solving equipment theft case

The Andalusia Police Department is seeking the public’s help with information about thefts that occurred this past weekend at Sunsouth LLC, the local John Deer dealership.

Chief Paul Hudson said some time between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning, thieves cut the fence between Sunsouth and Eye Center South and took six industrial lawnmowers, a stand-on Wacker Neuson, and other items. The estimated value of the stolen goods topped $100,000, he said.

Hudson said the APD is asking any resident who saw suspicious activity, or might have seen the equipment being hauled out of town, contact investigators at the APD at 334-222-1155.

Anyone with information also may contact CrimeStoppers using the 24-hour tip line at 215-STOP (7867).

JANUARY 23, 2025 MORNING UPDATE

The City of Andalusia will begin gradually reopening city streets at noon today, Thursday, Jan. 23.

While the condition of city streets has improved dramatically in the last 24 hours, there are still pockets that are frozen and dangerous.

If residents need to check on their businesses or friends and family members this afternoon, we encourage you to use extreme caution while doing so.

City officials will reeconvene at 4 p.m. today to reassess conditions and finalize tentative plans to reopen some city functions on Friday. It appears increasingly likely that garbage services will resume on Monday, as garbage has frozen in the hobos, complicating collections.

Watch for updates late this afternoon.
