A $500 reward is being offered for information that leads to the recovery of a trailer containing gear belonging to Boy Scout Troop 2 of First Presbyterian Church at 510 S. Tibbs Road. The trailer was stolen from the church parking lot sometime in late March or early April, authorities said.

The 8 foot by 10 foot “Workforce” enclosed trailer is single axle with a bumper pull hitch. Lettering on the side has the troop number and church name.

“It apparently happened sometime between March 31 and the groundskeeper’s arrival on April 1,” said Dalton Police Department spokesman Bruce Frazier. “The trailer has been entered into the Georgia Crime Information Center as a stolen vehicle. We currently don’t have any leads in the case.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police department at (706) 278-9085, extension 250, or First Presbyterian Church at (706) 278-8161, extension 100.
