“Stressful, very stressful,” is how Roy Baird, the owner of Southwest Tire in Shaunavon, Sask., described the incident.
Baird told CTV News that his shop was contacted in late May for an order of a dozen tires. A common enough occurrence.
However, what happened next was anything but.
“All the sudden he’s getting someone to pick them up and ship them somewhere,” Baird said. “So I told my staff that when the shipping company comes in, check where they’re going and everything.”
Baird and his staff later learned that the tires were destined for a storage facility in Quebec.
With his product shipped off and already suspicious, Baird called the RCMP.
