allegedly stole a woman's knapsack from her parked truck on Parson's Road in Pembroke.

The victim said she was earlier told by a male associate that a man had tried to sell him a bag which matched the description of her missing bag.

The pair then approached the would-be salesman who returned the bag minus its contents. The man detained the alleged thief while the victim called the Police. When the officers arrived at the scene the alleged thief took them to the place where the items from the bag were hidden. He was arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station.
