Stolen car trailer recovered the same day

A trailer that was stolen early Friday morning was recovered just five hours later in Cherokee County, according to a press release by the Vernon County Sheriff's Office.

Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher said a deputy was dispatched to a location in the Deerfield area to take a report of a stolen trailer designed to haul vehicles.

The deputy taking the report wanted to get the word out as soon as possible and had dispatch contact all law enforcement agencies in the surrounding area immediately after taking the report.

The deputy followed up on a call from Cherokee County about a trailer matching the description of the stolen trailer.

It was confirmed at approximately 2 p.m., on the same day, that the trailer was a match for the one stolen.

The sheriff said the owner was notified about the trailer. Moser added that deputies are still investigating the theft.
