Police say they tracked the man down on a nearby farm about 15 minutes after the search began.

They say the suspect was found with stolen credit cards and identification linked to property crimes in Perth County, Wellington County and Kitchener-Waterloo.

A 23-year-old Kitchener man is facing several charges in connection to the stolen vehicle and property as well as the collision.
