Car thief/OPP
Downtown Fergus
OPP in Wellington Country near Fergus have found a toddler who was taken probably unintentionally by a car thief on Christmas Day. The child’s mother left the car unlocked and running outside a store in the town of Fergus with the child sitting in a car seat in the rear. Cold weather probably influenced her judgement. Police say the thief and “his accomplice” stole the car, a Grey Chevrolet Impala, and left it abandoned on Highway 6 near Sideroad 19 and shortly after it was stolen. The child was unhurt. The thief is still at large.
