An Owen Sound man faces a long list of charges after an investigation that started in Port Elgin and ended in Georgian Bluffs.

On Sunday morning, Saugeen Shores police were checking plates on a vehicle and it was determined that it had been reported stolen in Georgian Bluffs. Officers tried to stop the vehicle on Goderich Street but it sped away, almost hitting two cruisers. Police were able to identify the driver.

Just after 1 p.m., members of the Grey Bruce OPP located a suspect at a motel in Georgian Bluffs.

A 34-year-old faces several charges including possession of property obtained by crime, flight from police, dangerous operation, operation while prohibited, and failure to comply with a probation order.
