Two burglars recently stole equipment worth thousands of dollars from a Henry County landscaping business, Channel 2 Action News reported.

The business owner, Tim Malin, told the news station the loss was estimated at $20,000.

Surveillance footage from Total Tree Solutions in McDonough shows two people who appear to be young men grabbing equipment from a garage after using bolt cutters to break in.

“We came down to inspect, and everything we owned was gone,” Malin told Channel 2. “Every chainsaw, blowers, weed eaters, hedge trimmers.”

Malin said he has been targeted three times before.

“We get up and go to work every day,” he said. “We bust our butts and we get this taken; that's what’s disheartening.”
