A Peterborough man faces theft charges after OPP say he was gassing up a vehicle that had been reported stolen on Saturday.
Peterborough County OPP say around 5 a.m. on Saturday, officers were at a gas station on Lansdowne Street to refuel their cruiser when they noticed a pickup without front or rear licence plates. The driver was refuelling the vehicle at the time.
Officers determined the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 had been reported stolen from a warehouse in Oshawa, so they arrested the driver at the scene.
Steven Irvine, 31, of Peterborough was charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and theft under $5,000.
He was released and will appear in court in Peterborough on Jan. 30.
