A Windsor man is facing multiple charges after allegedly being in possession of stolen property.

Windsor police say their Property Crimes Unit was investigating a commercial break-and-enter Wednesday. A man was spotted in the area of Tecumseh Road West and Huron Church Road allegedly with over $30,000 worth of stolen industrial equipment and was placed under arrest. Police allege the man had a knife and that the vehicle he was driving had stolen licence plates attached to it. A loaded modified rifle was also found in the vehicle.

Drew Trepanier, 31, is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000, two counts of breach of probation, possession of a prohibited weapon and several firearm-related charges.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should call Windsor police at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4350, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (519) 258-8477 (TIPS).

These charges have yet to be proven in court.
