OPP seeks public's help in Grey Highlands trailer theft

Ontario Provincial Police in Grey Highlands are investigating the theft of an enclosed trailer that contained approximately $30,000 worth of tools.

On Thursday, February 8, 2024, OPP received a call from a victim reporting the theft of a trailer from a business on Road 180 in the Municipality of Grey Highlands. The trailer, a dark grey Discovery DMA, is adorned with red and white "Glenvalley Construction" logos on its sides and rear.

Police have identified a vehicle of interest: a black Chevrolet Z71 crew cab pickup truck with 5-spoke aluminum rims. The truck was observed hooking up to the stolen trailer, but no license plate was visible on the vehicle.

The trailer's GPS tracker later was discovered in a ditch on the 4th line in Melancthon Township.
