(CALEDON, ON) – Members of the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have recovered a stolen vehicle identified by ALPR alerts and laid charges against two individuals.

On March 25, 2025, a stolen vehicle was identified by the police vehicle’s Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system. Just after 2:00 p.m., it led officers to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle in the area of Innis Lake Road and Atchison Drive in Caledon East. The driver and passenger were placed under arrest.

As a result of the investigation, Varindersingh JOBANPREETSINGH, 23, of Brampton, and Sukhpreet SINGH, 21, of Caledon, were both charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5000. The accused are scheduled to attend the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on April 24, 2025, to answer to their charge.

Over the last few years, there has been a surge in vehicle crime; auto thefts being the most prevalent.
