OPP investigates theft of 9 high-end pickup trucks from dealership

Ontario Provincial Police is investigating after nine high-end pickup trucks were stolen from a dealership in Fergus.

The vehicles were taken on April 25 and 26 from Reliable Ford Dealership on Tower St. South.

Police say the thieves targeted 2020 Ford F150’s, F250’s, and F350’s. The pickup trucks are worth a total of $700,000.

OPP says roughly $80,000 in damage was caused to eight other vehicles when the suspects tried to remove the front door handles in an effort to steal the vehicles.

“It is believed the suspects have extensive knowledge of vehicle anti-theft devices and have the means to obtain numerous vehicles at one time, in one event,” said OPP in a news release.

Several licence plates were also stolen off vehicles in the parking lot.

Surveillance footage shows the vehicles were last seen travelling southbound on Highway 6 away from the dealership.

Any person with information is asked to contact the Wellington County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
