The Estevan RCMP has announced it has recovered the oilfield trailer and oilfield property that was stolen from the Torquay area at the end of April.

The RCMP has also recovered the two triple-axle flat deck trailers that were stolen from the industrial area of Estevan around the same time period.

In a related investigation, the Estevan RCMP also conducted a search warrant in the city that resulted in the recovery of several stolen items from thefts that had occurred in rural areas around Estevan.

Jared Dornn of Estevan has been charged with possession of stolen property, theft, mischief and possession of break and enter tools.

Further charges are pending as investigation into the recovered stolen property continues.

Dornn will remain in custody until his next court appearance May 23.

Two of the recovered trailers were located by a farmer who is a subscriber of the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network and remembered seeing the original crime watch releases on April 29 about the stolen trailers.

The recovery of the third stolen trailer, the search warrant and the recovery of the other stolen property was due to good ol' fashion police work provided to the public by the hard working members of the Estevan RCMP Detachment,” the RCMP stated in a news release.

The Mercury will have more details as they become available.
