OAK GROVE, Ala. – The Talladega County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a theft involving more than $15,000 in stolen tools and equipment from four Alabama Power service vehicles parked off of Hwy 280.

Other missing equipment includes chainsaws, drills, impact wrenches, flashlights, wire cutters, volt meters, screwdrivers, crescent wrenches, pliers, and complete wrench sets.
