North Bay police can thank Mother Nature for helping them catch someone who had gotten into a parked vehicle overnight and stole several items.
The Widdifield area homeowner saw someone in his vehicle around 3:00am Friday and called police.
When police arrived the individual was gone.
But today’s fresh snowfall made it easy to follow a set of tracks to the Ski Club Road area where police arrested a 33-year-old North Bay man.
During the arrest, police recovered several items that were in the vehicle.
The man is charged with theft and the investigation continues.
