Lambton OPP have arrested a suspect following the theft of a potentially dangerous piece of equipment last Friday morning.
At around 5:30 a.m., police were contacted about a theft from a construction vehicle on Mara Street in Point Edward.
Among the items taken was an Instrotek Xplorer 3500, a device used to measure the density of asphalt, which contains hazardous components if tampered with.
After numerous tips, police arrested a 22-year-old Sarnia man and charged him with theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and mischief under $5,000.
The accused has been released and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date.
