Owen Sound Police say an automated licence plate reader helped in the recovery of a stolen vehicle.
City Police say a 46-year-old female driver was arrested without incident in the 1200 block of 1st Avenue East around 8:30 p.m. Friday evening, after officers discovered the sport utility vehicle she was driving had been reported stolen to Chatham-Kent Police in August.
“Not only was the SUV stolen, but a second set of licence plates was also found by police inside of the vehicle, that were not lawfully in the possession of the driver,” Owen Sound Police say in a release.
The accused was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime.
