MAPLETON — An alleged tractor thief was stymied with the help of “some Good Samaritans” who caught the 16-year-old accused in the act, according to Wellington County OPP.
Officers responded Sept. 25 to the reported theft in progress at a Sideroad 21 address in Mapleton Township. Police say the complainants prevented the teen from leaving the scene until law enforcement arrived.
The young Arthur resident is due in Guelph court on charges of theft under $5,000 as well as possessing liquor and cannabis while under age 19.
