EASLEY — A 60-foot enclosed trailer was stolen from the driveway of an Easley home last Monday, and the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help in identifying the suspects involved.

Chief deputy Creed Hashe said Wednesday afternoon that the stolen red “Hallmark” tandem axle trailer has a side door.

The trailer was parked in the driveway of a home on Midland Drive, and the sheriff’s office believes it was stolen around 8:20 a.m. after the homeowner had left the residence.

Located inside the trailer at the time of the theft was a 1931 Ford car described as a black “Hot Rod” model 2s. Hashe said the vehicle is currently not operational.

Three images collected by the sheriff’s office from a home surveillance system near the residence have been provided to the news media. The images show the trailer being pulled by a dark-colored SUV believed to possibly be a GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Tahoe.

Police believe the vehicle may have been occupied by a white male and a white female.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (864) 898-5500 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.
