Stolen Pick Up Truck – Charge Laid

File: 2025156696

At 11:20am yesterday morning (Feb 4), Charlottetown Police Services responded to a report of a truck that was stolen from a parking area on Kent Street.

With assistance from the Telecommunications Centre and E-Watch cameras, a male suspect was observed on video stealing the vehicle at 10:20am.  E-Watch surveillance was able to track the stolen truck throughout certain areas of the City and was last seen in the area of Dorchester and Cumberland Streets. Officers directed their patrols to that area and were able to locate the truck abandoned.

Officers were able to identify the suspect from the surveillance video and arrested him last evening at 8:00pm.

A 61 year old Charlottetown male has been charged with theft of vehicle and breach of probation.  He was subsequently released from custody and will appear in Provincial Court at a later date.
