A man from Brampton is facing numerous charges after police say they found six trailers that had been re-vined at an outdoor storage facility in Peel Region.
The discovery was made on July 11 in the Town of Caledon.
Peel Regional Police say officers also located about $56,000 worth of stolen property at that site that had been previously reported to them.
On July 22, Satwinder Singh, 24, of Brampton, was arrested and charged with six counts of tampering with vehicle identification number and seven counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
He was released with a promise to appear in court at a later date and has an upcoming appearance.
Investigators say the accused had rented the aforementioned storage facility in Caledon.
And here's the second, which may be connected with the first... or not...
5 commercial tractor trucks stolen in early morning theft: Ontario police
Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after five commercial transport trucks were stolen from Midhurst, Ont.
Police say the trucks were taken near County Road 27 and Bayfield Street at around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
The stolen vehicles are described as 2024 or 2025 white Freightliner Cascadia truck tractors, all with day cabs and no sleeper compartments.
A smaller grey vehicle, possibly a newer Honda Civic, is believed to be connected.
The trucks were last seen heading south on Bayfield Street toward Highway 400 in Barrie. From there it would be a straight shot down the 400 to the exit at King Road, then turn right to Caledon, or Highway 401, and right to... wait for it... Brampton.
The cops reckon that, unless the trucks were driving themselves [but they weren't Teslas! Ed.] the caper had to involve five -- six if you count the driver of the car -- "temporary students" of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving. Prove me wrong.
