Two Caledon men have been charged with possession of stolen cars.
Caledon OPP report that on Aug. 5, officers from the Street Crime Unit (SCU) received information that a stolen Lexus was left unattended in a Bolton park. Officers from the Street Crime Unit set up surveillance and noted that the vehicle had a stolen licence plate. Sometime later the officers observed two males and one female arrive in the park in a stolen black BMW.
They approached the vehicle and removed the stolen licence plate. One of the males left in the BMW and the other male and female left in the stolen Lexus.
