On March 11, 2026, the Cornwall Police Service arrested a 52-year-old local man at the courthouse in Cornwall, Ontario. The man was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant for charges involving shoplifting and breaking court-ordered rules from 2025.
The warrant was issued following an incident on September 8, 2025, at a business located on Second Street East. It is alleged that the man selected merchandise and left the store without attempting to pay for the items.
At the time of the theft, police say the man was also required to follow the rules of two separate probation orders. He has been charged with one count of shoplifting and two counts of failing to follow his probation conditions.
Following the arrest, the man was released from custody. He is now expected to appear in court to answer the charges on June 16, 2026.
