A single-vehicle collision in South River has resulted in charges for a Brantford resident.
Almaguin Highlands OPP says the driver of the vehicle had driven it through a backyard of a house on Ottawa Avenue, out to the front yard before crashing into the ditch. Once stopped, the driver left the area.
Police say when they inspected the vehicle; they found it had been stolen earlier that day from elsewhere in South River. After the driver left the area of the collision, they stole a second vehicle from a local business.
The next day, officers say they found the accused and arrested the 25-year-old. They have been charged with:
- Theft of motor vehicle (two counts)
- Operation while prohibited
- Fail to comply with probation order
- Theft under $5,000
- Careless driving
- Driving while under suspension
- Fail to remain
- Enter premises where entry prohibited
The accused has been released. They will answer to charges before court in Sundridge on August 27.
