(MUNICIPALITY OF GREY HIGHLANDS, ON) – On Sunday, May 11, 2014, Grey County Provincial Police (OPP) received a call from a man reporting he may be in possession of a stolen dirt bike.
The 2009 Yamaha, 50 cc dirt bike was purchased last summer for $700 from an unknown male in Toronto, who had posted an ad on Kijiji.
Recently, after looking into purchasing a motorcycle of his own and becoming aware of the correct process of transferring ownership; the caller became suspicious that the dirt bike he had purchased last year may, in fact, be stolen after he was unable to obtain the ownership from the seller.
Police confirmed that the dirt bike had been reported stolen by Durham Regional Police in 2010.
The 40 year old Grey Highlands man immediately turned the dirt bike over to police, who notified the Durham Regional Police.
