BARRIE, ONT. York Regional Police arrested a Newmarket man in connection with a series of arsons spanning several weeks in April. Police say three tractor-trailers were intentionally set on fire at a commercial facility at Leslie Street North and Davis Drive on April 10. The same night, the driver s seat of a vehicle in an auto shop parking lot on Pony Drive was set ablaze. The next day, officers say a garden centre glass door on Journey s End Circle was smashed by someone trying to get inside. One week later, a cherry-picker truck was set on fire behind a Leslie and Elgin street building. Just over 24 hours later, a vehicle at the same Pony Drive auto shop went up in flames and spread to two other vehicles.
Upton resident Jamie Dunn has been calling on the local authority to take action for many months. Over the past year he has seen cars parking all along Pony Drive, before making their way across Poole Road and into the country park. While Dorset Council, as the highway authority, has launched the legal process to prohibit parking in Pony Drive, Mr Dunn said said BCP Council, who own the country park, should consider a reduction in parking charges in an effort to stop people looking for somewhere else to leave their vehicles. It has been a problem for the best part of 2020, said Mr Dunn.
