Stolen trailer in rural Amsterdam

On February 27th a Deputy responded to a residence on Y Highway in Amsterdam to take a report of a stolen trailer. The trailer had been stolen from his driveway between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. that day.

The trailer is approximately 16 feet in length. It has black angle iron that holds the floorboards down. 


The angle iron is galvanized which the owner did after he purchased it making it unique to the make and model of the trailer. 

The trailer is beige in color and also has a wench attached to it. The license plate number is 64C8KC.

If anyone in the area has seen this trailer please do not hesitate to contact a Deputy at 660-679-3232.
