Police have laid charges against a delivery driver from Brampton who investigators say stole property from a resident and made fraudulent purchases.<\/p>\n

The OPP says the theft happened on Tuesday when a delivery driver was dropping off parcels at a home in Shelburne, approximately 60 kilometres north of Brampton.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when investigators say the driver swiped property belonging to the resident that was used to make several \u201cunauthorized purchases\u201d at retail locations, including gas stations and hardware stores.<\/p>\n

Officers with the Dufferin OPP say they located the suspect the following day in a white cargo delivery van. Two people were arrested, and police say one of the individuals was later released.<\/p>\n

The OPP says Denish Ajimal, 24, of Brampton, has been charged with four counts each of fraud under $5,000 and use of credit card, and one count each of theft under $5,000, possession property obtained by crime under $5,000, driver fail to surrender licence, improper tires, and drive vehicle or boat with cannabis readily available.<\/p>\n

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to the charges, police say.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The theft has the OPP encouraging residents to take precautions to protect their personal belongings when receiving deliveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping valuables, identification, and financial documents secured and out of sight can help prevent theft and protect against the unauthorized use of personal information,\u201d police say.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen possible, monitor parcel deliveries and ensure personal property is kept out of sight and secured. If you notice suspicious activity or believe your property has been stolen, report it to police.\u201d<\/p>\n
