Drug and Theft Charges Laid in Chatham

What began as a stolen bike investigation landed a Chatham man with drug charges. 

Police were initially called late Tuesday morning about a bike that had been taken from a Sheldon Avenue home. 

A security camera captured still images of the suspect, which helped police identify the accused on Lacroix Street later in the day.

The 25-year-old was taken into custody after a brief foot chase. Police then found the man was carrying some methamphetamine.

Charges include theft, possession of stolen property, and possession of a controlled substance. 

The man was released from custody with a date in court next month.
