Hanover police are reminding residents to lock their vehicles after charging a man in connection with an overnight car theft earlier this week.
On Monday, March 23, police were called to investigate several overnight thefts from unlocked vehicles in the area of 16th Street and 21st Avenue. The thefts included one in which the suspect stole power tools.
On Tuesday, officers identified the male suspect, located him, and took him into custody. According to police, the power tools were recovered and have since been returned to the owner.
A 33-year-old Hanover man was charged with two counts of theft under $5000 and two counts of trespassing. He was later released on conditions to appear in Walkerton court.
The Hanover Police Service reminds everyone to secure their valuables out of sight and lock their vehicles and outbuildings.
