A positive DNA hit helped solve a stolen car case in Wallaceburg.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege in May of 2016, officers responded to an abandoned vehicle in Wallaceburg.
It was later learned that the vehicle had been stolen and a Scenes of Crime Officer seized items for identification purposes, police say.
In July 2017 a DNA hit revealed the identity of the accused, police say.
The accused could not be located and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Also, in September 2017 probation and parole issued a warrant for the arrest of the accused for failing to abide by conditions of his probation order.
Last night, officers attended a call for service in Wallaceburg and located the man.
He was arrested on the outstanding warrants.
The 27-year-old man has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and breach of probation.
He was later released with a court date of March 13.
