Vic: Semi trailer stolen
MELBOURNE, Dec 14 AAP - A semi-trailer, laden with Adidas trainers worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars, was stolen from a Melbourne transport yard last night, police said
today.
The Agnosta Transport rig, worth about $45,000, was taken from a yard in northern suburban
Thornbury yard some time before 11.30pm (AEDT).
The theft was reported to police by a truck driver returning to the yard and noticed
a gate chain was cut.
Detectives said the thieves would need a forklift or similar equipment to open the
two containers on the truck.

green and white in colour, was labelled EMCU 3088456; the other was orange with black
lettering and labelled HDMU 2309161.
