The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in a case involving the theft of a large black water tank removed from a residence in southern Douglas County.
On May 29 at around 5 p.m. the water container was removed from a resident’s yard, said DCSO Sgt. Bernadette Smith. There was evidence that the container was rolled from the resident’s yard on Victory Circle down to Highway 395.
A passerby on Highway 395 later said he saw two Caucasian males, middle aged, loading a large black container onto the bed of an older model two tone white and very faded orange pick-up truck with lots of rust on the truck.
A photo of the Norwesco 2,500 gallon water storage tank, valued at $1,300, is pictured above.
A reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the suspect(s). Your identity is not needed and you will remain anonymous.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to call DCSO Dispatch at (775) 782-5126 or Douglas County Secret Witness at: 775-78-CRIME (775-782-7463) or DCSO Investigator Hubkey (775)782-9905
