Halton Police
Three men have been arrested, including two from Thornhill and one from New Brunswick, for their part in an attempted robbery in Oakville yesterday.
Yesterday, on Nov. 6, the Halton Police responded to reports of three men in construction uniforms breaking into a commercial property on Speers Road at around 10:50 p.m.
The only other intel police were given when going into the call was that the suspects fled in a dark-coloured pick-up truck that was pulling a trailer loaded with tools.
According to the report from police, "A short time later, patrol officers observed a vehicle matching the above description in the area of Lakeshore Road East and Ford Drive. A traffic stop was conducted and three individuals were subsequently placed under arrest."
