An Oakville resident is among a trio of suspects facing charges following a stolen vehicle investigation.
On Thursday, February 13th, just before 2:00 p.m., a Caledon OPP officer was conducting a proactive patrol in the area of Mayfield Road and Centreville Creek Road in Caledon. At that time, an alert was received by the Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system advising the officer of a stolen vehicle. The stolen vehicle was later located on Alovera Street in Brampton. The investigation led to officers engaging a foot pursuit resulting in the arrest of the vehicle’s three occupants.
