A Redmond Boy Scout Troop needs help finding their stolen trailer filled with camping gear and flags of a historic value.
Troop 575 leader Mike Harlan says the trailer was stolen either late Thursday night or early Friday from the parking lot at the Timberlake Church where it’s kept.
The 6-by-10-foot utility trailer was filled with cooking and camping gear including Dutch ovens, gas stoves, and patrol flags (that have some historic value to the troop). The trailer and its contents are valued at approximately $3,000.
“We had an outing this weekend and when we arrived to get our gear and go on our outing, we found that the trailer was gone,” explained Harlan. “It contains all of our patrol boxes, troop gear and troop flags that the scouts use at our scouting program.”
The trailer is Champaign-colored with a license plate of 116 XCF.
If you see it, you’re asked to call Redmond police.
