STOLEN TRACTOR TRAILERS
Overnight June 26 someone broke into a 2002 International transport tractor from Laidlaw Transport on Hwy 11 North.

The thief then took the tractor to Mack North a short distance away and hooked up a double trailer loaded with 2x4s. The vehicle was then driven down Thibault Hill and abandoned at the bottom in front of several businesses.

Later that same day an employee of the company noticed the vehicle abandoned and called the driver who advised him that the vehicle had been left locked on the company lot. It appears that the vehicle did not have any air suspension hook up and the jack legs had not been raised. This caused dragging marks on the pavement.

The entire value of $200,000. was returned to Laidlaw Transport.

Later that same day Peterbuilt Transport on Highway 11 North reported that a 2002 Peterbuilt tractor was stolen. This unit was left abandoned north of Orillia and has been recovered by the OPP.
