Caledon OPP have recovered a stolen vehicle and charged a resident from Brampton who was arrested for a similar offence just five days earlier.
On Tuesday, Sept. 6, OPP were alerted that a commercial motor vehicle was stolen out of the Milton area.
“The vehicle (the tractor part) travelled to the Town of Caledon and stole a trailer loaded with furniture,” said police. “Officers located the vehicle, but the driver failed to stop.”
Black spray paint was reportedly used on the vehicle to cover the company name.
The Caledon Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) was engaged and successfully arrested the driver in Brampton.
Officers recovered the stolen 2008 Volvo transport truck and the stolen trailer, along with its load of furniture.
