The Orillia Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is again seeking the assistance of the public for information regarding a second theft of an all-terrain vehicle, from the same residence, in the Township of Oro-Medonte.
On Feb. 4, 2021, police received a report of a stolen ATV with a plow attached, from a residence on Highway 12, from which a similar ATV was stolen a week prior. The owner of this ATV had loaned it to the resident for snow removal due to the previous theft. The ATV was parked inside the garage and on Feb. 3, 2021, approximately 8 a.m., a neighbour witnessed someone drive the ATV from the property, thinking that it was the owner driving. The person was described as wearing all black, including snow pants, jacket, boots, gloves and helmet.
The stolen ATV from this occurrence is a 2019 grey Polaris Sportsman with heated grips and two black speakers with a plow attached. The previously stolen ATV is a 2008 black Suzuki LTX ATV, with a snowplow attached.
