Police close investigation into Norfolk catering trailer dispute

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 11:31 · Archive

Norfolk Police are closing a theft investigation into a dispute over a catering trailer following a resolution between customer Jim Candy and Kerbside Trailers UK. Candy, a 55-year-old from Scotland, ordered an Airstream food trailer from the North Walsham-based firm in June last year to open a Thai catering business with his wife, Vilaiwan. He paid a deposit of almost £13,500, described as half the trailer's price.

Candy claimed the trailer was scheduled for delivery in February this year but never arrived. Owner Shaun Moore told him it had been damaged during shipping from China and agreed to order a replacement for April delivery, which also did not materialise. After requesting his deposit back in July, Candy reported the matter to Norfolk Police in September.

Kerbside Trailers stated that 'all affected customer matters have now been fully and amicably resolved'. In a Facebook statement, the business said it had 'encountered a combination of unforeseen challenges' during the period, including disruption to international supply chains, supplier pricing issues, increased procurement costs and delays affecting order fulfilment.
