Hamilton Man Arrested Two Years After Pickup Truck Stolen in Puslinch
A Hamilton man has been taken into custody more than two years after a stolen pickup truck was recovered in Guelph. The arrest was made possible through DNA evidence collected from the vehicle.
On March 29, 2023, police officers located a GMC Canyon in a parking lot on Woodlawn Road West during the early morning hours. The truck had been reported stolen from Puslinch and was seized for forensic analysis. Evidence collected from inside the vehicle, including fingerprints and DNA, pointed to two suspects in the theft.
This week, a 45-year-old Hamilton man was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property valued over $5,000. The investigation into the theft is ongoing, according to authorities.
