Fasso Transport has lost a Western Star prime mover and a Steelbro side loader following the theft from its East Bendigo depot on Sunday afternoon.
Owner Lyndon Fasso said CCTV revealed the truck and piece of machinery had been stolen from its McDowalls Road address about 2.30pm.
He said the offenders – he believed there would have to have been more than one to carry out the theft – cut the chain on the gate and hot-wired the prime mover.
The offenders struck at a time when no one was at the site – Mr Fasso said one staff member left at 1.30pm and another was back at 4pm.
He said the business had never experienced a theft like this before, and he believed the offenders had taken the truck and equipment for a specific purpose.
