The Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police have charged a man from Newmarket with filing a false report of a carjacking.
The initial report of the carjacking was made the morning of July 31, 2022, and police were provided with a description of a male suspect.
The vehicle in question was located by police the same day in Tay Valley Township and it appeared to have been involved in a collision.
Further investigation into this occurrence lead investigators to conclude that the reported carjacking had not actually occurred.
As a result of this investigation, 27-year-old Raymond Francis-Burroughes of the City of Newmarket has been charged with public mischief.
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on September 12, 2022.
