Durham Police said a 33-year-old Markham man was arrested and investigators recovered stolen construction equipment after conducting two search warrants.
Members of the East Division Community Response Team commenced an investigation last December of stolen construction equipment. Investigators executed two search warrants and recovered eight machines valued at approximately $400,000 which included excavators, skid steers and tractors. The machines had fake vehicle identification numbers (VIN) affixed and the suspect was trafficking the equipment, said a police statement.
The suspect was charged and held for a bail hearing. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with new information about this incident is asked to call Cst. Peddle of the East Division Community Response Team at 905-579-1520 (toll free 1-888-579-1520) ext. 3734.
