Three Arrests Made in Oil Rig Bit Theft Case
In Opelousas Louisiana police detained three suspects in the theft of 193 oil drilling bits valued at about ten thousand dollars. James Dumas 47 faces possession of stolen goods charges while Bobby Morland 26 and his 15 year old Bakersfield California nephew are charged with receiving stolen property. Morland allegedly rode in a truck owned by a Bakersfield bit shop carrying 43 bits and claiming he paid Dumas thirteen hundred thirty dollars. Dumas operated a local bit shop and had 150 additional bits at his shop and home. The bits were stolen from a local warehouse and are rented to drilling companies. Rebuilt bits are said to be unsuitable for Louisiana soil but used elsewhere in the nation.
