THOUSAND OAKS : Trailer, Appliances Stolen at Mall Lot
A trailer containing about $65,000 worth of store appliances was stolen from a parking lot outside JC Penney at The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, officials said.
On Monday, a few hours before the trailer theft, a Burns Trucking tractor worth about $25,000 was taken from a vacant lot at Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Taylor Court. Detectives are investigating whether the thefts are related, Sgt. Jim Sliester said.
The department store apparently was using the trailer for storage, Sliester said, but as of Tuesday afternoon officials had not provided detectives with a list of items taken.
The trailer was reported missing about 1:30 p.m. Monday and the tractor about 5:30 a.m., Sliester said.
