Polk police still searching for mobile home

Polk police are still searching for a mobile home that went missing late last year.

The owner of the 14-by-80-foot home reported in December that it had disappeared from the property he was renting in the area of Waterworks and Georgetown roads, Polk police chief Ed Sharp told the newspaper in February.

Sharp said he has since located the decks that were attached to the trailer as well as a dog kennel belonging to the trailer owner.

The trailer, however, remains unaccounted for, Sharp said.

The chief said two people told him they saw the trailer get hauled away by a white truck. One of the two said it happened during hunting season of last year, Sharp said.

Sharp said in February that the owner of the trailer was in the process of moving and was living in another location when the trailer went missing.

The owner of the mobile home and the owner of the property where the mobile home had sat said they don’t know what happened to the home, Sharp said in February.

“I know it is a priority to him to find it (the missing mobile home) and it is a priority to me to find it. I want to find his property for him,” Sharp said Wednesday. He added there must be at least one or two people who know where the trailer is.

Sharp said he is talking with the Venango County district attorney’s office about the case.

A person connected to the owner of the mobile home called the newspaper Wednesday and said the family of the man who owns the mobile home is offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest in connection with the case.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at (814) 432-3484.
