Revelstoke RCMP are investigating the reported theft of a trailer and two snowmobiles.

Police say the alleged theft happened at a hotel in Revelstoke, B.C., on Dec. 16 at approximately 1:30 a.m.

The enclosed trailer was a black-and-silver 2016 Alcom Crossover edition bearing the Alberta licence plate 5CJ271, according to police. It was allegedly removed from one truck, connected to another truck and hauled away.

Police said in a press release that surveillance video shows a male, approximately 25 to 40 years of age and wearing dark clothing, operating a newer white Ford F350 diesel crew cab.

Police said the suspect truck is not displaying a front licence plate, has a red auxiliary fuel tank in the rear box behind the cab, has large oversized tires with black wheels and a full sunroof.
