A semi-tractor trailer containing more than 1,000 boxes of Crown Royal whisky products was stolen from the site. The trailer was found abandoned the next day in the 4000 block of County Road 46, which runs adjacent to Highway 401.

The whisky, however, wasn’t there and remains missing, police said.

Investigators are asking residents and businesses in the area to review their surveillance or dashcam footage for any signs of suspicious activity that could aid the investigation.
