On Wednesday, police say the owner of a missing John Deere payloader discovered his heavy-duty construction machine on a property in the Township of Southgate, west of Shelburne.

The owner called the Grey Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), who executed a warrant at a property on Southgate Road 14.

During the search, police said officers seized stolen property, including a stolen John Deere payloader, a Kubota riding lawn mower and deck.

The approximate value of the allegedly stolen property is $40,000.

The OPP charged three Southgate Township men, each with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

The accused will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound on January 25.
