A NORTHERN Ireland haulage company is offering a £5,000 re ward for information that leads to the return of two Scania tractor units stolen from its yard earlier this month.
Vincent Waddell, MD at Surefreight in Newry, wants the vehicles back after three men walked into his premises on the Carnbane Industrial estate and drove them out of the yard. The incident occurred at 12.30am on Saturday 19 November. It has left the irm and police bafled, particularly as both vehicles are not normal leet spec and are therefore distinctive in appearance. “They had a code to get into the back gate and they removed the trackers from the units,” Waddell says. “It has to be someone with knowledge of the company and the yard.
“Our CCTV showed three people, but it’s not clear enough for identiication. They left the yard about 1.05am and there have been no sightings of them since.” One of the vehicles is a recently painted red Scania R420 6x2 Topline mid-lift, with Opticruise gearbox, chrome stack and alloy wheels, complete with Surefreight livery.
The other is a white Scania R500 6x2 with small mid-lift axle, com plete with top bar and two 700-litre fuel tanks and grey side skirts, also in the irm’s livery.
