and live on Freeview channel 276
A Tri Axle Tuffmac trailer (VRM 191-DL-2699), along with galvanised steel sheeting and purlins, is believed to have been stolen at around 10.20pm.
It was taken from driving range premises on Alder Road.
Constable Patterson said: "We believe a white Transit van was used to tow the trailer and its contents from the premises. We believe the van made its way to the premises to carry out the theft via Racecourse Road and may have pulled in briefly at Woodlands Avenue, the new development on Alder Road beforehand.

"We're keen to hear from anyone who knows the whereabouts of the trailer and material, or has been offered a similar trailer or material for sale in suspicious circumstances."
Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
"This theft is devastating for the owner. Not only is there the financial loss from the value of the trailer and the materials that have been stolen, but the owner is now without a trailer needed for work.
