Trailer stolen from Frankfort church

The Franklin County Sheriffs Department is on the lookout for a $15,000 trailer that was stolen.

The department says that a trailer was stolen from the New Harvest Church parking lot sometime between Saturday evening and Monday afternoon.

Police say that the trailer was secure behind the building, but the suspects managed to break off both locks with a blunt object.

Sheriff Patt Melton says that the suspects might have noticed the trailer sitting by itself and acted on it.

"A lot of crimes are times of opportunity. I'm sure it's been sitting there for a few days and someone saw it and though man I can get that," said Melton.

Pastor Scott Bowman told WKYT's Lauren Minor that there was another trailer used for landscaping sitting right next to the trailer that was stolen and was unlocked.

That one was not touched.

The trailer that was stolen is a 2003 Forest River auto-carrier with Florida plate 089-0JZ.

If you see a trailer that matches the description, you are asked to contact the Franklin County Sheriffs Department or your local law enforcement.
