Increase in Auto Thefts

Dufferin OPP are investigating multiple new thefts of motor vehicles.


Dufferin County is impacted by an increased vehicle theft trend affecting the entire Greater Toronto Area. Recent reports indicate that RAM pick up trucks, years 2020 to 2023, are predominantly targeted. On many occasions, thieves are observed in neighbourhoods prior to the thefts occurring to record VIN numbers and to disable alarm systems to facilitate the theft later. These crimes are often occurring between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.


If you observe suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, report it immediately by calling 9-1-1. For auto theft prevention tips, visit our website.

Battery Energy Storage 

Abundant Solar will be proposing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project, located in Mulmur, to IESO (Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator) for a chance to participate in IESO’s Expedited Long Term Electricity Reliability Services process.

 

The BESS project is intended to enhance grid reliability, ultimately reducing chances of local outages. Further, construction, operations and maintenance activities will stimulate local economic activity with long-term contracts to local businesses as much as possible.
