Police Appeal After Horse Trailer Stolen in Kempsey

Police are appealing for information after a horse trailer was stolen in Kempsey.

The theft happened overnight, with the trailer taken from an area off Rookery Road. Officers believe it occurred between late evening and the early hours, with the trailer removed from the property without the owner’s knowledge.

Horse trailers are unfortunately a common target for thieves, often because they can be quickly moved on or sold.

Incidents like this tend to happen quietly and overnight, making them difficult to spot at the time especially in quieter village locations like Kempsey.

It’s a timely reminder for anyone with trailers, caravans, or similar equipment to take extra precautions where possible:

• Use wheel clamps or hitch locks
• Park in well-lit or covered areas
• Consider CCTV or tracking devices
• Report anything suspicious

Even small details can make a difference.

While Kempsey remains a safe and peaceful place overall, incidents like this are always frustrating particularly for those directly affected.

It’s another example of opportunistic crime reaching into villages, not just towns and cities.

Police are asking anyone with information, or who may have seen anything unusual around Rookery Road during that time, to come forward.

As always, if you’ve heard anything locally or noticed something out of place, feel free to send it in the community keeping an eye out for each other makes a real difference
