POLICE in Co Derry will be carrying out a trailer marking event in a bid to stop the theft from rural farms.PSNI Magherafelt say: “Everyone is encouraged to come along to have trailers and farming equipment marked as well as to receive crime prevention advice and guidance from officers.
“Trailer marking is a tried and tested crime prevention measure.
“This is a free service and all trailers and horseboxes can be given a security marking which makes it less attractive to thieves and helps Police quickly establish the legitimate owner of the vehicle.
Trailer marking involves painting a unique ID mark on trailers and other farm equipment in an easily visible area using specialist paint and stencils.
“By stamping your details on your trailer it makes it easier for the police to track down and return your stolen property and makes it harder for the thieves to try and explain why the trailer they are towing belongs to them.
“Please contact Sheila CPO Magherafelt PSNI on 101 x 40469 / 07795607167 for further details and time slot.”
