“After obtaining a report from the victim of the theft, officers observed what they believed to be the stolen trailer in a parking lot a short distance away,” the police service said in a statement.
“In the same parking lot was an idling truck with a man asleep inside. Continued investigation and evidence collected in the parking lot linked the truck to what was confirmed to be the stolen trailer.”
The 36-year-old is now facing charges of breaking and entering to commit and indictable offence and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
