Stolen vehicle from Waterloo Region recovered and charges laid

During the nightshift of Tuesday November 25th members of the Owen Sound Police Service were checking various locations throughout the city for two, earlier reported stolen pickup trucks from Owen Sound.

At approximately 11:40 p.m. a patrol officer located an abandoned pickup truck in a Motel parking lot on 9th Avenue East which had been previously reported stolen in the Waterloo area. A male and female also from the Waterloo area believed to be responsible for the theft were located in one of the Motel rooms.

As a result of this incident a 33 year old, Waterloo area man will be charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime and one charge relating to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The 25 year old female also from the Waterloo area will be charged with breach of recognizance for failing to comply with a condition not to be with the arrested male. The male and female are being held in custody pending a Wednesday morning bail hearing.

It does not appear as though the male and female arrested had any involvement with the two stolen pickup trucks from Owen Sound earlier in the day.
