The North Bay Police Service (NBPS) arrested four individuals following an Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) alert for a stolen vehicle.

On February 6, a member of the NBPS Patrol Section received an ALPR alert for a stolen vehicle. Officers located the vehicle at an accommodation in the 200 block of McIntyre Street West and observed two co-accused enter a unit. Further investigation led to the recovery of the stolen vehicle, and seizure of brass knuckles, a Glock-style pellet gun, and suspected methamphetamine, cocaine, and OxyContin.

The accused, Jeremy Beaudry, 31-year-old, male, of West Nipissing, has been charged with:

• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000

“Automated Licence Plate Recognition technology is a valuable investigative tool that helps our members quickly identify vehicles of interest in real time,” says A/Insp. Corrente. “In this case, the alert, combined with strong investigative work by our Patrol Section, led to a quick and coordinated response.”
