“It does not appear that these cases are related but this does show just how prevalent these trailer thefts are all around us,” said Montgomery County Sheriff John Fuson. “I would definitely encourage anyone who owns a utility or any other kind of bumper pull-type trailer to secure it in a way that discourages thieves.”
“Criminals are watching and can quickly take your property away from you before you know it. Our investigators have been doing an outstanding job in solving and making arrests on these cases,” said Fuson. “But when it comes to also recovering the property that was taken in our county along with stolen property from our neighboring counties, that’s a grand slam in my book.”
Anyone with information on any of these crimes or witnesses any suspicious activity can call the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 931-648-0611 or submit a tip with the MoCoInfo App, or call 911.
