(PRESCOTT, ON) – A large amount of stolen property was recovered by police following a search warrant yesterday in the Town of Prescott.



The Grenville County and Leeds County Detachments of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) had received numerous reports for stolen recreation vehicles and construction equipment throughout the areas since the spring of 2024.

Members from the East Region OPP Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) began investigating the incidents since that time, and completed a search warrant for a property on Wood Street East, in the Town of Prescott.

In the evening of September 10, CSCU executed the search warrant, with the assistance of the East Region OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) and Canine Unit. One person was located inside and arrested without incident.

CSCU recovered two ATVs, construction tools, a trailer, two kayaks, a boat, a motorcycle and a pick-up truck. Police also located and seized a quantity of suspected cocaine and rifle ammunition.

The accused, Matthew BEATON, 39 years of age, was charged with the following Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences:

· Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 (four counts)

· Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000

· Careless storage of a firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition

· Possession of a Schedule I substance

The accused was later released from custody and will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brockville on October 11, 2024.
