Mulmur man charged in three thefts
On July 3, 2017 Nottawasaga OPP were dispatched to the Canadian Tire Store located at 110 Young Street in New Tecumseth (Alliston). Upon arrival, the store reported that two men had stolen lawn chairs and a log splitter from the exterior of the store. Video provided descriptions of the men and showed the vehicle used in the theft.
One of the suspects returned to the same store on Dec. 15, 2017 and was confronted by store staff after stealing a bottle of windshield washer fluid. The suspect, who was sitting in a vehicle, became agitated and drove off.
On Dec. 21, 2017 Nottawasaga-Dufferin Street Crime Unit, after a lengthy investigation, executed a search warrant at a home on the 20th Sideroad in Mulmur Township and recovered clothing worn in thefts, a stolen trailer and a small marijuana grow operation.
As a result of the investigation, police have charged a 51-year-old Mulmur man in connection with the three thefts. The accused will appear in Barrie court at a later date to answer to the charges.
