Three people were arrested Monday night after a victim spotted his car hauler trailer that had been reported stolen in March.

The victim called in to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Department stating that he had found his trailer in a business parking lot off West Cumberland Gap Parkway about ten miles south of London.

According to a release, when deputies Kyle Gray and Brandon Broughton arrived at the scene, they confirmed that it was the car hauler trailer that had been reported stolen from a Knox County location to the Knox County Sheriff’s Department on March 18 of this year.
