The El Centro Police Department is investigating the theft of several air compressors and a generator.
Police reports indicate that two separate incidents resulted in the loss of 4 air compressors and a third report was taken for a stolen generator. Monday morning a Calexico man reported three air compressors were taken after a padlock was cut from a perimeter fence of a lot in the 1200 block of East Evan Hewes Highway. Shortly after that report an air compressor was reported stolen from a business in the 1800 block of West Main Street. About two hours later a 6000 watt generator was pried from a locking device on a truck in the 1200 block of Smoketree. The thief left behind several tools used in the heist.
