Police seek stolen carousel
March 30, 2009
Swedish police said they are searching for a 2-ton carousel that was stolen from the side of the road after the owner backed his trailer into a ditch.
Andreas Tynong, 32, told police he had to abandon the trailer carrying the old-style funfair ride after it became stuck in the ditch Saturday near Nasviken and the carousel was gone when he returned for it later in the evening, The Local reported Monday.
Tynong said he constructed the ride himself using pieces from old coin-operated toys for small children.
That’s why the theft feels so personal,
he said.
Police said they received reports of the carousel being pulled north of the scene by a golden brown Volvo V70.
