A Mattawa property owner who caught a person on video in the act of stealing decorative trees alerted Mattawa OPP about the theft Saturday morning.
As a result of the video footage and the subsequent investigation, a 42-year-old Mattawa woman has been charged with theft under $5,000 and trespassing at night.
The woman has been released on a promise to appear and will attend court at the Ontario Court of Justice in Mattawa on November 1.
