Heath Ledger’s Uncle Arrested

According to the local reports, Haydn, 52, and another man allegedly stole three bobcats from local businesses in the late actor’s hometown during June and July.

Police spotted a man, believed to be Haydn’s accomplice, asleep in the driver’s seat of a truck outside a machinery sales office in the early morning hours Wednesday.

After executing a search warrant at the business, they discovered three missing Bobcat tractors (worth $137,000) and a tomahawk.

Drugs were allegedly also found on the driver, according to the paper.

The news comes days after Ledger’s family flew to NYC to attend The Dark Knight premiere.

As he left the screening, Ledger’s father Kim (Haydn’s brother) gave reporters a thumbs-up.
