The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SD&G) Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has now laid charges in connection with an incident in which the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) invoked its mandate.
March 13, shortly after 10:30 a.m., officers from SD&G OPP were alerted to a stolen vehicle travelling eastbound on Highway 401, near Cornwall. During the incident, the vehicle exited at 4th Line Road, entered a ditch and rolled. The driver was taken into custody and transported to hospital. The individual has since been released from hospital but remains in police custody.
As a result of the investigation, Alfa Boubacar Bah, 18, of Longueuil, Quebec, has been charged with:
- Dangerous operation of a vehicle
- Flight from a peace officer
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000
- Trafficking in stolen goods over $5,000
The accused is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cornwall March 17.
