A 38 Wallaceburg man has been charged with stealing a garbage can.
But not just any old garbage can – it belongs to the police.
Saturday night, Chatham-Kent police received a call about a man stealing the bin and taking off with it.
They spotted the man riding his bike on Dufferin Ave and pulling the big pail behind him.
They pulled him over only to discover the bin belonged to them.
So the man was arrested and charged with theft and possession, and the pail is back in its rightful place.
