A Hanover man is facing criminal charges after recently being arrested by Steinbach RCMP in connection to a number of ATV thefts.

On December 17, 2015, the Steinbach RCMP General Investigation Section conducted an investigation into complaints of ATV thefts in the Steinbach area. During the investigation, police executed a search warrant at a residence in the RM of Hanover which resulted in two stolen ATVs being recovered.

RCMP report that 20-year-old Andrew McGuirk of the RM of Hanover was charged with two counts of possession of goods obtained by crime over $5,000.

Police say that at the time of McGuirk’s arrest, he was the subject of an outstanding warrant of arrest for failing to comply with a recognizance. McGuirk was subsequently remanded into custody.
