Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges in relation to a stolen truck from the Scarborough area.
On May 12, 2022, at approximately 11:20 a.m., Caledon OPP was alerted of a stolen vehicle in the area of Polenta Crescent in the Town of Caledon. When officers arrived, one suspect was taken into custody for being in possession of property obtained by crime, while another fled the scene in a black BMW SUV.
In the recovered truck, officers located stolen transport truck tires (approximate value of $40,000). The investigation revealed that the cargo was linked to a break and enter that occurred that same morning in the Cambridge area.
The Caledon Community Street Crime Unit is continuing the investigation alongside police agencies from surrounding jurisdictions.
As a result of the arrest, Pushpinder DHILLON, 30, of Brampton was charged with:
• Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on July 28, 2022, to answer to the charges.
