On September 27th, 2024, the Sarnia Police were dispatched to a hydro compound on Confederation Street in the City of Sarnia. The subject activated the monitoring alarms which prompted the police response.
A person was then observed by the monitoring company on the cameras who guided the police response to the scene.
Once police arrived in the area, the subject attempted to flee the area and ran to a dark area where officers lost sight of him.

Officers then located tools and copper wiring which the subject was in the process of stealing.
A 39 years old from Sarnia is charged with the following offences:
