SUSPECT, 28, CHARGED IN BOLTON THEFT
A 28-year-old is accused of stealing from a Bolton business while armed with a firearm last weekend.
Ontario Provincial Police say officers from their Caledon detachment were dispatched to a business in the area of McEwan Dr. E. and Hwy. 50 around 2:40 p.m. on Sunday.
“The complainant advised a lone individual, who appeared to be in possession of a firearm, attended the business and stole several products before fleeing the location on foot,” police said in a statement released Wednesday. “Shortly after, officers located the suspect and took them into custody.”
Police said investigators later recovered a firearm that was allegedly used during the incident and determined it was an “imitation airsoft handgun.”
A Caledon resident is charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death, obstructing a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, and theft under $5,000.
The accused, whose gender and identity were not released by the OPP, was held in custody awaiting a bail hearing.
