A Dartmouth man is facing several charges after an incident in Colchester County.
RCMP say they were called to a hardware store in Truro on Nov. 13 when two people allegedly stole merchandise before fleeing in a vehicle.
Mounties say they soon located and arrested one man in a Hyundai Genesis when he got stuck trying to reverse over a retaining wall.
Officers discoverd more than 30 grams of methamphetamines on the suspect, along with a knife and stolen batteries.
36-year-old Lawrence Donald Cameron faces several charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, assault of a peace officer, theft and others.
