A complaint of a suspicious vehicle has led to Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substance Charges by the Orillia Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
On June 4, 2025, at approximately 8:50 a.m, officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious vehicle with a driver slumped over on Jarvis St. in the City of Orillia.
