An abandoned pickup truck full of stolen road signs found by police has resulted in an arrest.
Huron County OPP responded to an abandoned pickup truck on March 5 that was found in the ditch along Alice Street in Wingham. The truck was found with 10 stolen road signs from around Huron County as well as a stolen drive-thru sign from the Wingham McDonald’s. Police were able to determine through the investigation that the owner of the pickup was operating it just before it was abandoned.
As a result, police arrested and charged a 20-year-old Morris-Turnberry resident with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
The accused was processed and later released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for May 29 at the Goderich Ontario Court of Justice.
