Police say the driver fled on foot when the vehicle was stopped in a parking lot, leaving a passenger behind in police custody.
The OPP Canine Unit was called and police searched for the driver, who has been identified as a man from New Tecumseth, but they couldn’t find him.
Police have charged a 46 year old Barrie man with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime under $5000.
He’s set to appear in Bracebridge Court August 4th to answer to his charges.
