Half a million dollars worth of motorized recreational vehicles, stolen in North Dumfries were left behind in Wellington County.

Waterloo Regional Police are looking for a suspect, or suspects, in this case.

Police said a trailer loaded up with $500,000 of Sea-Doos and mini-ATVs was taken from the Cedar Creek Road and Industrial Road area, on either April 20 or 21.

But soon after 11 p.m., on the night of the 21, police found the trailer, and its contents, at an unspecified location in Wellington County.

There’s no word from police as to why that trailer might have been left behind.

Investigators would like to hear from anyone who knows anything about this case, and they can call police at 519-570-9777, extension 6370, or reach out anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.waterloocrimestoppers.com.
