One person has been arrested after officers found them in possession of what is believed to be a stolen vehicle exhaust system.
Officers responded to a call regarding a person on Bruce Street carrying a catalytic converter at approximately 11:30 p.m. yesterday, says a news release from the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service.
"Upon arrival, officers located a person matching the description with what is believed to be an entire exhaust system from a vehicle," the release says. "Officers developed grounds to believe it was stolen and the accused was arrested."
As a result of this investigation, 26-year-old Donald Jones was arrested and charged with:
• Possession of property obtained by crime
• Breach of probation – failing to keep the peace and be of good behaviour
Jones was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 27.
