On October 6, 2017, at approximately 9:45 am, members of the Sarnia Police Service COPPS Unit located a motor vehicle that had been reported stolen from London, Ontario, in late September of 2017.
The vehicle was located parked in the lot of a motel in the 1600 block of London Line. The involved officers set up surveillance on the stolen vehicle and approximately two hours later observed 3 people enter the vehicle. As soon as the three suspects entered the vehicle the officers were able to block the car in from moving and arrested all three parties without incident. Initially a 20 year old female attempted to give a false name but officers were able to determine her true identity.
A 23 year old male, from London, faces one count of possession of stolen property obtained by crime while another 25 year old male, from London, faces one count of possession of stolen property obtained by crime and breach of probation.
The 20 year old female, with no fixed address, faces one count of possession of stolen property obtained by crime, one count of public mischief, five counts of breach of probation.
All three were held for a bail hearing. The recovered stolen vehicle was returned to its rightful owner in London.
