Section 3: CrimeCanada.ca Safety Perspective

From the perspective of CrimeCanada.ca, the theft of specialized equipment like a 2023 Kubota tractor is a significant concern for rural and semi‑rural communities in New Brunswick. These machines are not only expensive, they are essential for farming, property maintenance, and local business operations.

We encourage residents in and around Saint‑André and Saint‑Léonard to remain observant, especially of flatbeds, transport vehicles, or properties where a new‑to‑the‑area Kubota tractor matching this description suddenly appears. Without putting yourself at risk, make note of dates, times, and licence plates if you see something suspicious, and pass that information to police or Crime Stoppers. Securing equipment with proper lighting, locked storage where possible, and recording serial numbers or VINs are important steps that can help with both prevention and recovery if a theft occurs.
