GYPSUM -- The Saline County Sheriff's Office is looking for the person or persons who stole a trailer and chemical tank from the City of Gypsum in southeast Saline County early Sunday morning.
The 20-foot black Finish Line tandem axle tilt-bed car trailer with a wooden deck was parked behind the Gypsum city building at 521 Maple, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. On the back was a 275-gallon clear chemical tank with 10- to 12-foot-long two-inch yellow hoses, he said. The trailer and tank were valued at $2,500, Soldan said.
The theft is believed to have occurred at 4:37 a.m. Sunday, he said. That is the time that an outdoor security camera on the city building was disabled, Soldan explained. Damage to the security camera was estimated at $100, he added.
