Trailer thief on camera

A thief who stole a three tonne tandem axle trailer from the Tauranga Bridge Marina carpark has a lot of people looking for his distinctive ute, says Bridge Marina manager Tony Arnold.

Tony says the white double cab Izuzu or Holden entered the marina on January 6 around 10.25am and hooked the ute to the trailer before driving away with it around 10.30am.


The ute that made away with a trailer from the Tauranga Bridge Marina.

'The white cab has a bull bar on the front, on the rear tailgate left side is dented and it has distinctive tyres.”

Tony has reported the theft to police and says he has a partial index number for identifying signs on the distinctive ute.

He says the owner is a long time marina customer who wants the trailer back.

'We promote a lock it or lose it and advise people to use clamps or locks, but this time it wasn't locked,” says Tony.

Tony says about 20 people have so far seen the pictures and are keeping an eye out for the ute with the distinctive wheels.

Anyone who sees the ute and or trailer can contact Tauranga Police 577 4300 and or Tony at the marina on 5758264.

Poor video comes back to bite you

What a shame the video quality is so poor. In this day and age, at that distance, the vehicle registration number should have been readable. This common low life thief is a ratbag who can afford to buy a trailer judging by the vehicle. When the police locate him (and they will) and prosecute him, I hope the court doesn't let us all down by their all too common wet bus ticket sissy sentencing.
