Halifax police are left scratching their heads after a brazen mid-day attempted theft of two 18-wheel trailers in Bayers Lake Saturday.
Around 3:15 p.m. two men pulled into the yard of John Ross and Sons Ltd at 128 Chain Lake Drive with two pickup trucks. They hitched their trucks to two 18-wheel trailers sitting int he yard of the recycling depot and tried to drive away.
An employee noticed, jumped in a car and chased after them. It only took a few minutes for the two thieves to abandon their attempt and run away.
Police arrived and used the K-9 unit but the dogs were unable to locate the two.
The first suspect is described as a white male, with a thin face and a dark complexion, wearing a black bandana, black t-shirt and a thin mustache. The second male is described as a white male between 20-30-years-old with black hair, a mustache and a dark t-shirt.
