Apr. 23—JAMESTOWN — The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a theft of about 1,500 bushels of soybeans near Melville, North Dakota, according to Jason Falk, chief deputy and investigator.
“It happened, we believe, sometime between October of last year and just here in the last week or so is when he discovered it,” Falk said.
He said Redge Nohrenberg, of Pingree, North Dakota, discovered the missing soybeans that were stored in a grain bin near the intersection of U.S. Highway 52 and North Dakota Highway 9.
“Maybe somebody saw something or heard something but whoever did it would have had a semi and would have had to offload it,” he said.
Falk said the estimated value of the soybeans is about $15,000.
