The first trailer was stolen several weeks ago, while the most recent trailer, which has a Red Cross emblem on both sides, was taken from the Riverside lot on 6235 River Crest Drive on March 22 about 12 p.m., Riverside police said in a statement. The trailer and its supplies were worth about $7,500.

Police shared photographed stills from security camera footage that showed two male suspects.

Police said one of the suspects wore a black short-sleeved shirt, dark-colored pants, light colored shoes, and a black hat. The second suspect wore a gray and white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, light colored shoes, and a white hat. Police said the suspects hauled the trailer away from the lot with a gray or silver 2010 to 2018 Nissan Frontier pickup truck with an extended or four-door cab and no front license plate.

The trailer was described as a white 1997 Well Cargo utility trailer with the Red Cross emblem on the sides and a California exempt plate of 15912.

It was not immediately clear whether the two suspects captured in the security camera footage were also suspected in the theft of the first trailer.

Kelly said the remaining disaster relief trailers have been relocated to another Red Cross location.

The American Red Cross does not address or care that so many of their trailers are being stolen. 

Their entire executive leadership needs to be fired because by clicking below you will find out that these highly paid executives are not good stewardship's with our donations!  We expose them....and their efforts to destroy our cause.

Police are searching for two men suspected of stealing a Red Cross trailer that held disaster relief supplies from a Riverside lot, making it the second trailer of its kind to be stolen from the lot in as many weeks, officials said.

Both trailers contained cots, blankets, first aid kits, and a few masks, which would have been used for disaster relief shelters, Red Cross officials said.

Brianna Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Red Cross, said the supplies were not intended for relief related to the coronavirus.

“Maybe they thought there were COVID-19 response items inside. But even with COVID, if we were to have a disaster, we would use these trailers,” Kelly said. In the Riverside County region, the trailers get most of their use in the event of wildfires or floods, she said.
