Landscaping Trailer Thieves Strike In Norwood

NORWOOD, MA — A trailer thief has apparent hit Norwood and is targeting landscaping companies.

Tuesday night, Police Chief William Brooks told the selectmen that officers responded to three reports of landscaping trailers that were stolen over a 10-day period. In the past month, there have been four incidents according to the police department’s Facebook page.

Brooks said two trailers were in fenced in areas and resulted in stolen equipment.

“The suspects appear to be targeting trailers, knowing that many valuables are stored inside. Take extra precaution in not only securing your equipment but securing the trailers so that they cannot be easily removed from your property for later dismantling. While we can only account for the thefts in our community, those living in neighboring towns should also take caution,” the department wrote in a Facebook post.

Brooks said some companies are offering rewards for information. The cases remain under police investigation.
