(MORRIS-TURNBERRY, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged four Huron County residents with a number of criminal offences following their arrests that took place this weekend.
On Sunday, November 20, 2016 at approximately 12:30 p.m. a Huron OPP officer spotted a stolen Ford F-250 pickup truck backing out of a conservation area located near Turnberry-Culross Road. As the officer pulled in to initiate a traffic stop the driver accelerated forward and tried to escape however the truck quickly became stuck in the mud. Once they realized they were stuck, the four occupants took off running into the wooded area.
Officers from the Huron OPP and South Bruce OPP Detachments were able to contain the area until a canine unit arrived on scene. A short while later officers watched as a car showed up to pick up the four suspects. At that point officers intervened and were able to take the four wet and muddy suspects into custody.
