Suspected Car Hopper Caught

A suspect wanted for stealing from vehicles has been arrested by police.

They tell us they were in the John and Ontario Street area around 3 o’clock Tuesday morning when they found a man matching the description of someone wanted for car hopping.

The man took off, but officers caught him, and say he had a number of stolen items such as a video game, cell phone, money and gift cards.

Police add the 38-year old Thunder Bay man appears in court Tuesday.

They also stress to protect yourself from having anything stolen from your vehicle…. lock the door.
