"The officer investigated and discovered the man was attempting to illegally enter Canada."
Police said they detained the 51-year-old from the U.S. And turned him over to the RCMP "for further investigation."
A local spokesperson for the federal police force, which handles border issues outside of official ports of entry, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
LaSalle police Chief Michael Pearce praised the officer's discovery Wednesday.
"This is an outstanding example demonstrating that proactive police work can yield unintended positive outcomes," Pearce said in the news release.
"While conducting a simple property check, I'm confident our officer did not expect to find someone trying to illegally enter Canada."
