The officer discovered someone had contacted the garage over a black 1994 Dodge Ram pickup truck for sale. The garage took the vehicle in and decided they were going to buy it. The garage made a number of repairs to the vehicle and was waiting for the owner- ship. The seller told them the ownership had been lost and this made the garage suspicious. They contacted the Ministry of Transportation and found out the truck was stolen from the Belleville area. The vehicle has been seized and OPP officers are investigating two males. ►ssssssssssss 'A Indian River Direct CITRUS TRUCKLOAD SALE EXETER 0 I TUESDAY, f DECEMSE ' 21 01:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.
