At roughly 7 p.m., officers were reported to the Home Depot at Lansdowne Street and Park Street about two suspicious males. Officers spotted a white van believed to be involved in the parking lot. 

They conducted a traffic stop with emergency lights and while speaking to the driver, the driver reversed, struck another vehicle, almost hit a police cruiser and took off. Officers then located a second man matching the description given to police in the parking lot and took him into custody.

The man was arrested and charged with:

  • Theft Under $5000
