Silver trailer stolen in Letterkenny, gardaí seek dash-cam footage

A silver Mtec 10x5 trailer was stolen from Dromore, Letterkenny, County Donegal, before 00.50am on Saturday 26 October 2024. Gardaí say a white high-roof Transit van with no registration plates removed it from the area, and the sources name no suspect, arrest or victim. The case was first reported by DonegalLive on 29 October 2024, when the Dry Arch roundabout area was also given as the location, conflicting with Dromore. The latest development is the garda appeal that day for dash-cam footage from the dual carriageway and warnings that the trailer may be sold secondhand.
