G4S Security Guard Foils Tire Trailer Thieves!
A G4S security guard at a Burford Drive trailer yard near South Service Road knew something wasn't quite right when two men pulled into the yard about 3 p.m. Friday and quickly hooked up to a trailer loaded with more than $100,000 worth of tires.
When they peeled out of the compound, the guard followed and waylaid them at a red light.
"When the guard said, 'Hey, what are you guys doing?' They said, "OK, you got us,'" police media officer Sergeant Terri-Lynn Collings said. "They turned the rig around and drove back to the compound, where they waited until police showed up and arrested them."
The truck cab had been stolen earlier in Brampton.
Two men, 46 and 24, of no fixed address, have been charged with theft, possession, burglary tools and obstructing police.
