Suspicious person call leads to charges

An Espanola man is facing charges following what was perceived as suspicious behaviour by a resident.

Manitoulin OPP Constable Tessa Kasch says they received a call shortly after ten pm on Sunday night from a resident who said they saw a person walking up and down the street in what they called a suspicious manner.

She says police found the man a little later on Centre Street and he was arrested.

Kasch says the 37-year-old man from Espanola has been charged with possession of break in tools, and three counts of possession of suspected methamphetamine.

She adds he is to appear in Espanola court on January 24th.
