Members of the Orillia Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police have arrested and charged one individual with Robbery and other Criminal Offences after an early morning call for service.
On February 21, 2026, at around 1:20 am, members from the Orillia OPP responded to a call for service of an unwanted person at a business on Atherley Road in the City of Orillia. Upon responding, the complainant advised that there was a patron in the business who alleged they would use a weapon against them if they did not provide them with alcohol or cigarettes.
