Orillia OPP have tracked down a man and charged him after an expensive theft last month at an Oro-Medonte ski resort.

Officers were called to the theft at Horseshoe Valley Resort on January 2, where an investigation utilizing the skills of a Scenes of Crime Officer (SOCO) to gather evidence determined a safe holding more than $17,000 was stolen overnight.

Orillia's Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) assisted in the ensuing investigation, which led to the arrest and criminally charge of a 49-year-old man from Penetanguishene with theft over $5,000.

He was released from custody and is set to appear in court in Orillia at a later date.

The goods stolen are still outstanding, and the OPP is appealing to the public for any further information.
