On February 20, Charlottetown Police Services (CPS) received a report of a stolen license plate. At approximately 8:00pm the next day, CPS received a report of a gas drive off from a local gas station. Surveillance footage, of the suspect, vehicle and license plate number was shared with police and the license plate was confirmed as the stolen license plate from the day before.
The investigation remained ongoing, and CPS’ E-Watch/Automated License Plate Recognition program generated an alert later that same evening. Officers from the General Patrol Unit were deployed to the area and successfully conducted a targeted traffic stop on the vehicle.
41-year-old Justin James Reynolds was arrested and charged with:
- Theft under $5,000 (s. 334 CCC)
- Operating a vehicle while prohibited (s. 320 CCC)
- Possession of property obtained by crime, less than $5,000 (s. 354 CCC)
Reynolds was remanded into custody and will appear in court on February 26, 2026.
