Gardai appealing for information after trailer stolen from near Portlaoise

Gardai are appealing for information after a trailer was stolen from a house outside Portlaoise late on Friday night.

A 2018 model Ifor Williams tipper trailer was stolen from a house at Sheffield Cross on Friday night.

It’s believed the trailer would have had to be pulled about 100 yards – by about four people – from where it was to be connected to a vehicle before departing.

The owner of the trailer has reported the robbery to Gardai in Portlaoise and it has been posted on the Laois-Offaly Garda Síochána social media pages.

The owner said he was contacted by a farmer near Portarlington who said his CCTV recorded the trailer passing his farm at about 10.20pm on Friday night.

The trailer carries the reg numbers 171 LS 738 and a 07 KK 5612.

If you have any further information, you can contact Portlaoise Garda Station on 057 8674100 or 086 0640345.
