Wanted man arrested after stolen vehicle found in Perth
A man wanted on multiple arrest warrants is facing new charges after police recovered a stolen vehicle in Perth on July 11.
Lanark County OPP say an officer approached a parked vehicle and its nearby pedestrian occupant shortly before 5:30 p.m. During the interaction, police learned the driver—who had fled the scene on foot—was wanted on outstanding warrants and that the vehicle had been reported stolen earlier that day.
A tip from a member of the public led officers and the OPP Canine Unit to a nearby area, where the suspect was located and arrested without incident.
Lucas Young, 35, of Perth, has been charged with:
- Obstructing a peace officer
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000
- Driving without a licence
- Driving while under suspension
- Failing to comply with a probation order
Charges have not been proven in court.
These charges are in addition to those related to his outstanding warrants.
The accused was remanded in custody following a bail hearing on Monday, July 14, 2025, and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on July 28, 2025.
