(ORILLIA, ON) � A complaint of a suspicious person has led to Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substance Charges by the Orillia Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).



On March 18, 2025, just after 6:30 pm, officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious person slumped over in a motor vehicle at a plaza on West Street North in the City of Orillia.
