In a concerning incident that underscores the ongoing issue of vehicle thefts in Ontario, officers from the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating the theft of a blue 2023 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. The vehicle was reported stolen from an address on Black Cherry Crescent in the Town of Shelburne during the early morning hours of October 17, 2025.

According to the OPP, the theft took place around 2:36 a.m. – a time when many residents were likely asleep. The vehicle, known for its ruggedness and reliability, is equipped with a variety of features that make it a popular choice among Canadian drivers. With a growing number of Canadians opting for pickup trucks, this incident is a reminder of the need to remain vigilant against theft.

The stolen Toyota Tundra carries the Ontario licence plate 360BOTH. The Dufferin OPP is calling on anyone who may have information regarding the theft or any surveillance footage from the area to step forward. Such community involvement can be crucial in helping law enforcement crack down on auto theft and other crimes.

Vehicle theft is a persistent problem across Canada, and Dufferin County is no exception. As more individuals turn to trucks for both work and recreation, the demand for these vehicles often leads to an increase in thefts. This incident serves as a reminder for vehicle owners to take preventive measures, such as ensuring their vehicles are locked and parked in well-lit areas.
