Stolen trailer investigation leads police to nearly $800K in cargo and vehicles

Peel Regional Police recovered nearly $800,000 in stolen computer equipment and commercial vehicles during their Brampton, Ontario investigation. July 22, detectives went near Heart Lake Road, close to Countryside Drive, for a missing-trailer follow-up. The search led officers beyond that original case. Inside nearby trailers, they found cargo from two unrelated thefts. Investigators located four stolen commercial assets nearby.
