Red Deer RCMP are investigating the theft of a fifth wheel trailer from Allan Dale Industries.

The dealership’s locked compound was broken in to shortly after 7:30 p.m. on June 3.

Two men driving a black Ford F150 drove in to the compound, hooked up the fifth wheel and drove out through the front gate.

The truck is described as having a large dent in the box behind the passenger side of the crew cab. RCMP say the truck was not adequate for pulling a trailer of that size and suspect it would have been driven a short distance before hooking the fifth wheel up to a larger truck.

One identifying feature of the stolen trailer is the installed washing machine and dryer which features a chrome dryer vent.  The stolen trailer is a Heartland Road Warrior 427RW worth approximately $121,000.

Police are asking any witnesses who may have seen suspicious activity involving a Heartland Road Warrior fifth wheel trailer in that area or around that time to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.
