Police report the suspect vehicle was spotted Aug. 27 on Highway 7 in Brampton. Caledon OPP and Peel Regional officers helped stop the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed five 1,000-litre tanks in the cargo area, along with all necessary fuel pumps to siphon the gas. They also found numerous break-in tools and clothing to allow the suspects to appear as maintenance personnel were also located. The charges laid include theft, theft of a credit card, use of a stolen credit card, possession of property obtained by crime, possession of the proceeds of crime, possession of break-in instruments, possession of a controlled substance (heroin) and two counts of breach of an undertaking.
