An overnight property theft at a home in Walkerton earlier this week led to charges against a 28-year-old Hanover man.
South Bruce OPP were called about the theft around 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Officers were told an unknown person stole property from the residence sometime during the overnight hours.
Police did not specify what type of property was stolen.
During the investigation, officers determined the property had been taken to an address on John Street in the Municipality of Brockton. The stolen items were soon found and returned to the owner.
A 28-year-old man from Hanover was arrested. He is charged with theft under $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, and failure to comply with a probation order.
The accused is scheduled to appear in Walkerton court in relation to the charges on January 13.
