HAMLIN, N.Y. (AP) - A trailer filled with 350 Christmas trees has been recovered after it was stolen from a New York farm.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office tells local media that a passer-by spotted the pickup truck and trailer around 3 p.m. Wednesday at St. Leo's Church in Hamlin, on the Lake Ontario shore 18 miles west of Rochester.

The truck and trailer had been stolen sometime earlier that morning from a farm in Hamlin. The farmer called police after he discovered the pickup truck he'd backed into a driveway was gone and so was the 28-foot trailer behind it.

Inside the trailer were 350 Douglas fir trees worth about $12,000. It's not immediately known if all the trees have been recovered.

There are no suspects in custody. Police say their investigation is continuing.
