The North Bay OPP is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying persons and a vehicle of interest involved in two theft incidents from the Powassan landfill.
The first occurrence, on December 1, 2024, two individuals unlawfully entered the Powassan landfill while it was closed. The individuals were captured on surveillance footage stealing various items, including donation bin contents and discarded electronics.
The second occurrence, on the evening of December 19, 2024, the chain on the landfill’s locked front gate was cut and the property entered using a vehicle. Once inside, individuals stole discarded electronics. Surveillance footage recorded an image of their vehicle, which is believed to be an older style Chevrolet extended cab truck, hard flip-up tonneau cover, equipped with a back rack and rear-facing flood lights, and a partially burned-out left taillight.
