Thieves have been active stealing parts, tools and other things from parked trailers at several WA hook up areas, sources tell Spy.
This has occurred mostly at night and such activity has drivers very angry.
One veteran said he had left his trailer at the Kewdale facility in Perth about 8pm and when he returned at 6am he was fuming.
“Some grubs had removed the airlines and fittings from a trailer and left the plug. I could not build up speed and found air shooting out and it cost me heaps in time and inconvenience,” he said.
The breakdown area at Northam has also been a target for these low lives during the past few months.
“There has been numerous incidences of spare tyres, tools, straps and other things being taken by vandals,” a driver who does a regular run between Adelaide and Perth said.
Drivers told Spy that if any of these culprits were caught it will not be good for them.
“Theft off trailers in WA is getting really bad,” he said.
