Police in Haldimand County says they’re investigating the theft of a large transport truck worth about $125,000 they say was taken late Sunday night in Townsend.
Ontario Provincial Police say they got a call from the driver of the truck on Monday morning after discovering his ride had been taken from a lot at an address at Nanticoke Creek Parkway.
“I believe it was the spouse of the owner/operator who noticed it missing,” Const. Rod LeClair told Global News, “It was parked on a vacant piece of land. No other trucks around.”
LeClair says the black 2006 Peterbilt transport truck was taken sometime between 7 p.m. on Sunday and 7 a.m. on Monday.
It’s believed the truck was disconnected from an attached trailer and driven eastbound toward Highway 6.
The trucks fuel tanks were labelled with the name “Silliker.”
