Gloucestershire Police are appealing for witnesses after a jet ski and trailer were stolen from a property in Slimbridge earlier this month.
The theft happened at about 11pm on Monday, September 7, according to the appeal published by Stroud Times on September 21, 2026. Police said unknown masked offenders arrived at a property in the village in a blue Ford Transit van fitted with a bull bar on the front.
The offenders took the trailer and jet ski from a garage. They then hitched the trailer to the van before driving away.
Police examine scene and CCTV
Investigating officers have carried out several enquiries since the theft was reported. These include a forensic examination of the scene and a review of available CCTV footage.
Police are now seeking information from anyone who may have seen the blue Transit van in the area around the time of the incident. They also want to hear from anyone who noticed suspicious activity connected with the theft.
The appeal extends to anyone who may have been offered the jet ski for sale. The source refers to a picture of the jet ski, although no image was supplied with the material used for this report.
How to contact police
Anyone with information can contact Gloucestershire Police through its online reporting form. Details should be submitted using the existing case-report form and quoting reference 53260077221.
Information can also be provided by calling police on 101. Callers should quote the same reference number so their information can be linked to the investigation.
The appeal does not state whether anyone has been arrested or provide further details about the stolen trailer or jet ski. Police have not disclosed the value of the items in the supplied information.
Slimbridge is outside the supplied Stroud city area taxonomy, so the incident has a nearby-market connection rather than being a confirmed Stroud city story.
