A Chatham man is facing charges after being caught driving a stolen motorcycle on the 401.
Shortly before 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, members of the Elgin County OPP were dispatched to the westbound lanes of the highway after receiving complaints about a motorcycle driving erratically.
Authorities say the bike was found broken down on the shoulder a short time later, and further investigation showed it had been reported stolen from Stratford.
A 21-year-old man was arrested and has since been charged with possession of stolen property under $5000, possession of an identity document, and driving without a license.
The accused has been released from custody and will answer the charges in court next month.
