🚨 THEFT ALERT – PETERSBURG, WV – PLEASE SHARE 🚨
Unfortunately, this trailer remains missing more than three months after it was stolen.
During the late-night hours of April 14, a black 5x8 Carry-On hydraulic dump trailer was stolen from a vacant lot on the south side of Petersburg, WV.
⚠️ The attached photo is a representative example of the trailer and is intended to give people a general idea of what it looked like. It may not be identical in every detail to the stolen trailer.
Trailer Description
▪️ Black Carry-On dump trailer
▪️ Approximately 5x8 bed
▪️ 5,000 lb GVWR
▪️ Hydraulic dump / EZ-Lift style system
Suspect Vehicle
Security footage captured the suspect vehicle, but the video quality is poor due to darkness. It appears to be:
▪️ Dark-colored full-size pickup truck
▪️ Extended cab or crew cab
▪️ Likely a newer model
Possible makes include:
▪️ Ram 1500 or 2500
▪️ Ford F-150
▪️ Chevrolet Silverado
▪️ GMC Sierra
Please Watch For
✔️ A black dump trailer similar to the one shown in the attached example photo.
✔️ Anyone who suddenly acquired a similar trailer around mid-April.
✔️ Private Marketplace, Craigslist, or auction listings for a Carry-On dump trailer.
✔️ A black hydraulic dump trailer hidden behind buildings, barns, garages, or on rural property.
Even though this happened more than three months ago, stolen trailers are often hidden for a period of time, moved to another county or state, repainted, altered, or sold through private sales. Someone may have seen it without realizing it was stolen.
Someone out there knows where this trailer is. A neighbor, coworker, friend, family member, or former acquaintance may recognize the truck, trailer, or circumstances surrounding the theft.
Even the smallest piece of information could make the difference.
Please share this post to help it reach as many people as possible throughout Petersburg, Grant County, Hardy County, Mineral County, Hampshire County, Tucker County, Pendleton County, and the surrounding areas.
