Windsor police say 6th person arrested in Crown Royal whisky heist
Social Sharing
Windsor police have arrested another person in connection to the theft of $500,000 of Crown Royal whisky last month.
Police said Tuesday they arrested a 54-year-old on Friday in the 5500 block of Lassaline Avenue.
He's been charged with possession of stolen property for the purposes of trafficking and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
"This investigation is ongoing and other arrests are anticipated," police said in a statement.
Police had announced Friday they made five arrested in connection with the whisky theft, totalling more than 1,000 boxes of Crown Royal products on May 17.
A commercial tractor trailer was stolen from a trucking business near Devonshire Mall and found empty the next day.
Police laid similar charges against the other five people arrested.
"There was a rental truck that we believe has been used to transport some of the stolen alcohol down the road to the 401, going east to cities like London and maybe even farther east," Windsor police spokesperson Const. Bianca Jackson said in late May.
Jackson said last week that Windsor police officers were working with other forces in the region to track down the suspects.
