An Indian-origin Canadian man was arrested in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, over stole truck charges last week. According to CBS News, an officer manning a commercial vehicle traffic stop in the US state found that the tractor-trailer the individual was driving had been stolen. The accused in question has been identified as 24-year-old Yuvraj Singh, who hails from Brampton, Ontario.
Singh was arraigned on Monday in the 91st District Court on charges receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle, motor vehicle fraud- concealing or misrepresenting identity of motor vehicle with intent, and invalid license plate-international registration plan. Thereafter, he was lodged in the Chippewa County Jail in Michigan.
He is not believed to be connected in any way to Jashanpreet Singh, Harjinder Singh and Kamalpreet Singh – all men with the same last name flagged in similar truck-related offences in the US.

The vehicle was ultimately stopped, and further investigation determined that the truck has previously been reported stolen out of Ontario in Canada. The MCO at the scene eventually confirmed the same detail, also discovering that the vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) has been tampered in an attempt to hide its true identity. The semi-truck and trailer have since been seized.
Indian-origin man’s passport surrendered
As per the police’s statement, Singh was ultimately released on a persona recognizance bond with conditions that he must surrender his passport.
According to the Tokyo Sun, Michigan State Police also declared that the man must had to stay in Chippewa County, while he continues to be monitored by a GPS tether.
The Michigan State Police worked in collaboration with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), US Border Patrol and Southwest Commercial Auto Recovery to investigate the case.
