Police say that a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup was reported stolen at 10 a.m. on April 9. The vehicle was later discovered in a ditch on the Fourth Line in Scugog. A check of the truck revealed that it had been stolen: from a Beaverton residence; but the officer became suspicious after he noticed that there was no damage to the vehi- cle, and that it was locked and the ignition was intact. A Scenes Of Crime Officer (SOCO) was sent to an impound yard to take fingerprints from the vehicle. The registered owner of the vehicle was called to Port Perry's 26 Division shortly after noon on April 10, where he admitted that he had been involved in an acci- dent and then reported the truck missing. The 30-year-old Beaverton man will appear in Oshawa court on May 4 where he faces one count of mischief. 0 4 y{\ of f Women's Designel Co-ordinates by Nygard & Looks Spring & Summer Dresses' exclude fom i i 3 » Ne v Do SPIES FON VET) Huhaer, | X &« POI 7010 Be sure to check out our other in store Jol URE AIFS URNIT ALLE
