Chesterfield, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Chesterfield Police have spent much of this week sorting and documenting tools and equipment, recovered during a search of Amilcar Palucho's home.  Palucho, 43, of Mason Valley Drive, has been charged with larceny and receiving stolen goods, with more charges pending.

Police say they were first called on February 21st, about Palucho.  A search of his home on Tuesday, according to officers, revealed the tools.  Lieutenant Jason Stocks says they appear to have been taken from construction sites as far away as Maryland.

Stocks says there are still looking into whether other people were involved.  They are using serial numbers to get the equipment back to their owners.  People who had equipment stolen, but do not have erial numbers, but have other markers, are asked to email PDCIDProperty@chesterfield.gov.
