(KINCARDINE, ON) On January 9, 2026, at approximately 9:59 p.m., the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a report of a stolen vehicle from a parking lot along Huron Terrace in the Municipality of Kincardine.
The complainant had driven into the lot in their Buick crossover when a male operating a Dodge SUV abandoned that vehicle, entered the Buick and fled the area. Minutes later, the Buick was seen in a parking lot along Philip Place, where a male exited and entered another vehicle which prompted a commotion with bystanders. At the time, an officer was on scene at the opposite end of the parking lot and observed the commotion, followed by the male returning to the Buick, jumping the curb and fleeing at a high rate of speed through the parking lot. The Buick was then observed to run the red light at Highway 21 and Highway 9 and continuing eastbound on Highway 9. Officers did not pursue out of concern for public safety.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., another responding officer observed the stolen Buick travelling westbound on Highway 9 from the Kinloss area. Additional units set up on Highway 9 outside of Kincardine, and successfully deployed a tire deflation device on the stolen Buick on its approach. The vehicle continued on with a deflated tire until eventually colliding with a snowbank on South Street, where the driver was promptly arrested. A search incident to arrest led to the discovery of suspected methamphetamine.
As a result of the investigation, Mark HOLTBY, 36-years old, of the Municipality of Kincardine was charged with:
Theft of motor vehicle, CC 333.1
Flight from peace officer, CC 320.17
Operation while impaired, CC 320.14(1)(a)
Dangerous operation, CC 320.13(1)
Possession of a schedule I substance methamphetamine, CDSA 4(1)
The accused was held for a bail hearing on January 10, 2026, and subsequently released from custody.
On January 11, 2026, at approximately 6:31 p.m., the South Bruce OPP were called for a disturbance at a residence in Kincardine. The same individual was located and placed under arrest. They were additionally charged with:
Uttering threats, CC 264.1(1)(a)
