Thieves stole a snowmobile and a trailer used for search-and-rescue operations, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department reported. The theft took place Friday.

The trailer is a white, dual axle, 16-foot Carson HiWay cargo trailer with California license plate 4HS9469.

The snowmobile is an Arctic Cat Bearcat 660, silver and black with a tandem seat and equipment rack.

Anyone with information about the items is asked to call the Sheriff's Department at (559) 488-3111.

I hope these thieves get lost in the woods when the sled runs out of gas and freeze to death. Hard to rescue someone when they steal the rescue equipment.
