Barry County Sheriff Mick Epperly is seeking tips from the public to solve the theft of a trailer from a Shell Knob business. According to Epperly, the 14-foot custom built trailer, was chained and locked outside of a business on Highway 39 when it was stolen.
Thanks to security footage at the scene, the suspect can be seen driving onto the property, located near the junction of Highways 39 and 76, what appears to be a four-wheeler. At that point, the suspect approaches the trailer and pulls it off of the camera coverage by hand. Unfortunately, the quality of the security footage makes it impossible to make a positive ID based on the footage alone.
According to Epperly, the trailer is worth around $1,500 and was custom made to haul golf carts. The business owners had the trailer out front for sale when it was stolen. The theft happened just before 1 a.m. on Sunday, September 25.
Anyone with tips or information regarding the theft can call the Barry County Sheriff’s Office at (417) 847-6556 or through Barry County Dispatch at (417) 847-4911.
