The Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) executed a search warrant at a Lanark Highlands home on McDonalds Corners Road on Tuesday, Aug. 13, with help from the East Region Community Street Crime Unit and OPP Emergency Response Team.
While the OPP is still reviewing the items seized, the stolen property is believed to be valued at well over $150,000 and includes three vehicles, two trailers, two Kubota lawn mowers, and multiple tools.
As a result of the investigation, Claude Gobeil, 38, of Cantley, Que. faces the following charges:

The same night as the search warrant, the 36-year-old woman, who has now been charged with seven counts of possession of property obtained by crime, turned herself in to police.
She was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in the Perth court on Sept. 9.
