A Burlington man faces charges after DNA linked him to a stolen vehicle that was recovered in Guelph nearly a year ago.
On Sunday, January 14th, officers conducting patrols in a south-end parking lot discovered a Nissan Pathfinder with stolen licence plates attached. Investigation revealed the vehicle had also been reported stolen three months earlier.

- Possession of stolen property over $5,000
- Possession of stolen property under $5,000
