Police are seeking information in relation to the theft of a prime mover and trailer from The Gums, west of Tara on the Leichhardt Highwy, between June 26-28.
The prime mover is a 1999 Freightliner FLX series, Queensland registration 606-SDQ and the trailer is a 1999 Macol tri-axle self-pumping tanker, registration 241-QQA. Both are white. There is no signage on the truck and the tanker has a red frame.
The thieves also drained the fuel tanks of seven other trucks located at the premises.
The window of another truck was been smashed and a 50 litre Waeco fridge was taken. Also stolen were eight Maxxis brand “mud digger” tyres size 265 75/16 (to suit a Hilux or similar).
Police believe the offenders arrived in a utility or similar vehicle which has allowed them to take the eight large tyres.
A further 400 litres of unleaded fuel was also taken from a free-standing fuel tower. It is unknown at this stage if this fuel was placed in a separate drum or used to refuel the pump on the tanker.
If anyone has any information, they should contact Policelink on 13-14-44 or Crime Stoppers on 1800-333-000.
