At about 1:30 a.m. on July 27, Ontario Provincial Police responded to a report that a black pickup truck had been 'taken without consent' from a garage on Huron Avenue. Shortly after, at approximately 2:15 a.m., authorities were called to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 17 in Algoma Mills. Police confirmed the vehicle involved was the pickup truck that had been reported stolen earlier that morning. During their investigation, officers determined the driver had consumed alcohol. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Blind River OPP detachment for processing. OPP said that the owner and the driver were known to each other. Charges and penalties As a result of the subsequent investigation, the male motorist was charged with taking a motor vehicle without consent and driving without a licence, insurance, permit or plates – along with two impaired offences – including operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of more than 80. In addition to the charges, the driver received a 90-day licence suspension and the vehicle involved was impounded for seven days. The teen is scheduled to appear in court in Elliot Lake on Oct. 2.
