Police: Gansevoort man drove stolen vehicles, caught at Canadian border 

A Gansevoort man is accused of stealing two vehicles and trying to flee to Canada.  

State Police said Aaron D. Freedman, 35, stole a car from a home outside Route 32 in Gansevoort on Oct. 14. The owner found the vehicle nearby and Freedman was allegedly inside. When approached, Freedman ran away. He had a long gun, but did not fire it, police said.  

A search did not find him. The stolen vehicle was returned to its owner.  

On Oct. 15, Homeland Security agents found Freedman in the area of the Champlain Port of Entry, and he was arrested. Freedman was driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen from Gansevoort early on the morning of Oct. 15 after the other theft. Police found the long gun.  

Freedman was charged with criminal possession of stolen property. He was arraigned in Moreau Town Court and released on his own recognizance.
