Two Ontario men have been charged following a Thursday morning encounter with police in Brantford’s city centre.
Detectives say the suspects were being investigated in connection to reports of a stolen vehicle in the area of Clarence Street and Grey Street.
The two men, identified by a tip from a resident, were approached by officers when a licence plate on a nearby parked vehicle matched that of a car reported to be stolen.
One of the men was arrested at the scene without incident, while another fled on foot.
