A 44-year-old Brampton man is facing multiple charges following an incident Monday night at the Home Depot on Lansdowne Street and Park Street.
At approximately 7:00 p.m. on Monday, officers responded to a report of two suspicious males at the business. Upon arriving, police spotted a white van in the parking lot believed to be involved. During a traffic stop, the driver reversed, hit another vehicle, nearly struck a police cruiser, and fled.
Officers apprehended a second suspect in the parking lot, discovering stolen items and multiple pieces of identification during a search.
The man is charged with theft under $5,000, obstructing a peace officer, and two counts of possessing property obtained by crime under $5,000. He is also wanted for similar offences in other jurisdictions.
The accused remains in custody and is set to appear in court today. Police are seeking information about a white cube van with Ontario license plate AW88359. Tips can be submitted to Peterborough Police or Crime Stoppers.
