The Chatham-Kent police have arrested a man in connection with a stolen vehicle investigation from last year.
In October 2013, police responded to a recovered stolen vehicle on Grand Avenue West in Chatham. The 2004 black BMW BX5 was reported stolen from the London area. Officers from the Forensic Identification Unit examined the car and items inside the vehicle were seized for DNA analysis.
In January 2014, police received information from the Centre of Forensic Sciences that a DNA profile had been generated. As a result, the man was identified and a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Yesterday morning, a 35-year-old man of Trafalgar Street in London was located and arrested by London Police Service. He was transported back to Chatham-Kent and charged with possession of property obtained by a crime over $5000. He was released with conditions pending a future court date.
