The 60-year-old man behind the wheel of the truck pulled off east of Wellington Road and got out of the cab to take a look at his trailer. At that point, the OPP say he was confronted by two male suspects.
Officers say one of the suspects went into the cab of the truck before both returned to their smaller-sized red car. They say the driver’s side headlight was out.
While the driver of the transport truck wasn’t hurt, the OPP say his cellphone was stolen during the incident.
