Occurrence #: BA14020931
Date: Friday, May 9, 2014 – 9:00am
The Barrie Police Service working in cooperation with the London Police Service have been investigating some stolen property which had made its way to the Barrie area.
The yard care equipment was stolen in the London area in November when a tractor trailer was stolen and later recovered void of its load.
Members of the Street Crime Drug Unit located some of the stolen property being sold at liquidation outlets in the area.
On Friday morning officers executed three search warrants in Barrie and one at an Orillia location and recovered equipment of a value of $10 000.
It appears at this time that the store owners may have unknowingly purchased stolen property but the investigation is ongoing.
