A 31-year-old Wasaga Beach man faces a slew of charges after an OPP canine search following a regional crime spree.
Monday OPP tracked the suspect who fled into the woods near the West Ridge area of Orillia.
He was eventually caught near Fairgrounds Road in Severn.
Police say a Severn resident had their car stolen overnight and they were investigating that report when they first came upon the suspect in a parking lot.
The suspect has since been linked to break and enters, thefts of vehicles and other property crimes in Oro-Medonte, Orillia, Severn Township, Wasaga Beach and Wahta Mohawk First Nation.
The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing and is set to appear today via video link at the Ontario Court of Justice, Barrie.
OPP have recovered items, believed to be stolen, for which the owners have not been identified.
Police believe the accused was in the Orillia, Severn, and Oro-Medonte area from the middle of June to July 6th.
If you have any information contact Orillia OPP.
