Stolen Motor Vehicle from Downtown Owen Sound
A downtown employee parked her vehicle around 9:00 a.m. on October 28th, 2014 in the parking lot situated at 945 3rd Avenue East, Owen Sound. When this employee went to get in her vehicle to go for lunch, it was nowhere to be found.
With both sets of keys still in the victim's possession it appears that the culprit(s) must have had the knowledge on how to hardwire a vehicle to start it. We therefore can suspect that the steering column and ignition will have been damaged to accomplish this.
The stolen vehicle is a 2007 Black Chevrolet Trailblazer, 4 door, inside were two child booster seats. The Ontario licence plate attached to this vehicle at the time it was taken was ATLL828. This licence plate may or may not be still affixed to this vehicle.
If anyone locates or observes this vehicle please contact your local police service or call 911.
