A headdress belonging to Nipissing First Nation Chief Scott McLeod was stolen when thieves took his Jeep Wrangler from a Mississauga hotel parking lot.
The headdress, which took two years of research to reconstruct, was inside the vehicle which was stolen around 3 a.m. Saturday, while parked at the Sandman Signature Mississauga hotel in the Matheson Blvd.-Dixie Rd. area.
“I ask that the perpetrators of this theft find it upon themselves to kindly return the headdress, this can be done anonymously, to the Sandman Signature Mississauga hotel or to one of the arenas where the event is taking place,” said McLeod, who was in Mississauga to attend a Little Native Hockey League tournament.
The tournament takes place Monday to Wednesday at Paramount Fine Foods Centre, Iceland Arena, Tomken Twin Arena, Meadowvale 4 Rinks, and Erin Mills Twin Arena.
Peel Regional Police say the stolen vehicle was a green 2022 Jeep Wrangler with Ontario licence plate CFRV260. Officers urge anyone with any information to call (905) 453-2121, ext. 1233.
