Thieves are on a roll with stolen toilet paper By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Halton police are looking for the suspect(s) who stole a truckload of toilet paper from the property of trucking logistics company, Lemko Trans Ltd., at 2430 Royal Windsor Dr., early Wednesday morning. Police said the suspect(s) scaled the fence, broke into a tractor-trailer and then drove the truck and its cargo out of the yard. While toilet paper may seem like an odd thing to steal, police said this type of product is more valuable to thieves than many would expect. "That kind of common household product is pretty easy for them to get rid of," said Detective Sergeant Mark Underwood, of the Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau. "Everybody wants it, everybody needs it," said the detective. Police reported this is the third incident to take place at truck yards in Oakville's east end in less than a month. On June 25, suspects assaulted and bound a security guard at a truck yard on Winston Park Drive and then stole a truckload of new automobile tires valued at approximately $80,000. Another incident took place July 4, when thieves scaled the fence of another truck yard in the area, but, in this case, were frightened off by security. Police suspect the incidents may be connected. "This type of cargo load theft usually takes place in spurts when you have the same crew that comes into your area and does a bunch of jobs all in one go," said Underwood. The detective said these types of criminals sometimes target a specific load, but other times simply walk onto the truck yard and open numerous trailers to see if there is anything worth stealing. The Halton Regional Police Service is continuing to investigate these incidents and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4747, ext. 2215 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). 5 · Thursday, July 19, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com Inside Opinion.............................................6 Travel..............................................21 Health.............................................22 Sports..............................................23 Classified........................................28 Full Delivery: Tiger Direct, Freshco, Food Basics, Metro, Bulk Barn, Critelli's Fine Furniture, Home Hardware, Hardwood Giant Centre, Amerisource Bergen, Drug Trading, Mona Fine Foods, Oakville National Family, JYSK, Ren's Feed & Supply, Michael-Angelo's, Sobeys, Rabba Fine Foods Partial Delivery: Bouclair, TC Direct, Future Shop, Home Outfitters, Sears, Zellers, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, Pharmaplus, Fortinos, Superstore, Best Buy, Walmart, Pharma Save, No Frills, Desjardins Insurance For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com Free Quotes AMAZING RATES!
