Three people face charges after Guelph police recovered a stolen pickup truck Saturday afternoon.
Just before noon, police were notified a stolen Dodge Ram was possibly at a commercial address on Speedvale Avenue West. The truck was located running in the parking lot and blocked in. The woman in the driver’s seat was showing signs of impairment, including delayed responses to commands and an inability to keep her eyes open.
She was arrested and taken to the police station, where testing revealed she was impaired by controlled substances.
A search of the truck revealed a bag of suspected cocaine and paraphernalia consistent with trafficking.
A 32-year-old Guelph woman is charged with impaired operation, possessing controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking, possessing stolen property over $5,000 and occupying a stolen motor vehicle.
Investigation revealed two other parties had fled the vehicle prior to police arrival. They were both located in the area and arrested. A 29-year-old Guelph man and 22-year-old Guelph woman are both charged with possessing controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking, possessing stolen property over $5,000 and occupying a stolen motor vehicle.
The females will appear in a Guelph court May 3. The male was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in a Guelph court April 8.
