There’s some bad press for Heath Ledger‘s family in Australia.
It turns out Ledger’s uncle, Haydn Charles Ledger, has been charged by police with stealing three bobcat machine trucks in Perth’s northern suburbs.
Police say Haydn was one of two men who allegedly stole the bobcat machines worth $137,000.
One was stolen in early June, the other two in July.
Yesterday morning, police on patrol spotted a man asleep in the driver’s seat of a truck parked outside a machinery sales office. Detectives later issued a search warrant for the business.
There, they found the three stolen bobcats and a tomahawk, along with finding drugs on the driver.
Haydn was charged with stealing and receiving.
Another 40 year old man was then charged with possessing a weapon and methamphetamine along with stealing.
Let’s see how the Ledger family tries to spin this.
