A Hamilton man is facing charges in a recent theft investigation.
The incident happened shortly before midnight on Sunday, September 15, when witnesses observed a damaged grey Honda Civic parked in the area of King Street East and Rosedale Avenue.
“At the time a male was rummaging through the cabin and then walked away with items from the vehicle,” police say. “His picture was taken and one witness left to locate the owner.”
Using the suspect’s photo and some received information on his last known whereabouts, police were able to locate the suspect a couple of blocks away.
