A man from Middle East Pubnico is facing theft charges.

Barrington RCMP say tobacco was stolen last Monday at two local gas stations, and a suspect fled in a stolen Dodge Avenger.

Police did extensive patrols, the vehicle was found at a residence on Seal Point Road.

On Thursday, the 45-year-old suspect was seen walking in Newellton, and after a brief foot chase he was caught.

He’s due in court on Monday morning.
