OPP INVESTIGATING THEFT OF VEHICLE PERMITS

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a break and enter that occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 12, 2020.

An Essex County branch of Service Ontario was entered sometime overnight by unknown suspects.

Two Ontario licence plates and approximately 600 assorted validation stickers were stolen. The validation stickers include those with expiration dates in February and June through December 2021 as well as January through May 2022. Also taken were a number of temporary validation stickers.

In addition, visitor handicap permits that are unique and rarely issued due to their limited and specific use were stolen. Most notably, these permits designate VISITOR in bold red lettering and will be missing an expiry date and permit holder name and address on the reverse.

Anyone with information regarding this or any other incident is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.catchcrooks.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
