(CALEDON, ON) - Members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged three individuals following an investigation into an obstructed licence plate over the weekend.
On April 11, 2026, at approximately 2:40 am, officers on patrol in the area of Mayfield Road and Coleraine Drive, in the Town of Caledon, observed a motor vehicle with an obstructed licence plate due to a black plastic cover upon it. Officers subsequently conducted a traffic stop upon the vehicle and entered into an investigation.
The investigation revealed that the vehicle was previously reported as stolen and the two licence plates affixed to the vehicle were 3D-printed and did not belong to the vehicle in which they were attached.
As a result of the investigation, three individuals were arrested and charged.
Gagandeep Singh, 26, of Brampton, was charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000
Tushar, 24, of Brampton, was charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000
Sujal, 21, of Brampton, was charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000
All accused parties are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to their charges.
Motorists are reminded that it is an offence to have an obstructed licence plate. Obstructing your licence plate with a plastic cover makes it difficult to identify vehicles, enforce traffic laws, and investigate collisions, which undermines public safety and effective law enforcement.
