A tip about a hot vehicle sparked a major score for Caledon police, who uncovered more than $400,000 worth of stolen trucks and trailers stashed in a quiet Ontario town. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say the breakthrough came Friday when officers zeroed in on a theft reported near Riddell Road in Orangeville, just 40 kilometers north of Brampton.
What started as a routine check turned into a jackpot. Officers first spotted a Freightliner tractor hitched to a pilfered 53-foot trailer. Digging deeper, a joint crew from Dufferin, Caledon, and Nottawasaga OPP unearthed a trio of high-value steals: a gleaming white 2024 Freightliner tractor, a 2020 Kenworth tractor with its trailer, and a shiny new Ford Bronco Special Edition. Total haul? Over $400,000.
No one’s in cuffs yet, but the OPP isn’t letting this trail go cold. They’re urging anyone with a lead to ring 1-888-310-1122. For those who’d rather stay in the shadows, Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for anonymous tips that crack the case—call 1-800-222-8477 or hit up www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

From Brampton’s bustling streets to Orangeville’s backroads, this bust proves crime doesn’t stay small-town quiet for long—not when Caledon’s finest are on the hunt.
