10 - The Oakyil|e Beaver, Friday March 31, 2006 Would-be thief threatens car owner A rude awakening for an Oakville resident proved dan gerous early Wednesday morning after he was con fronted by a knife-wielding man inside his car. According to Halton Regional Police, it was around 1:12 a.m. when a Speers Road man was awakened by his car alarm. When he went out to check on his car he discovered someone inside the vehicle. The resident approached his car, but he was confronted by the thief who pulled out a switchblade and threatened him. The man wisely backed off and the thief fled in a dark green van. Investigators say it's unclear if the culprit was steal ing items from inside the car or trying to steal the vehicle itself. There is presently no description of the suspect available. Halton Regional Police are asking anyone with informa tion related to the matter to contact the Oakville Investigations Division at 905825-4777 or 905-634-1831 ext. 2215 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
