Break & enter and theft of a vehicle

Manitoulin OPP has arrested a former local resident with theft of a vehicle and break and enter charges.

Constable Wendy Forcier says police were called out to a residence in Whitefish Falls around 4:30 Sunday morning.

She says they were responding to a 911 call from a resident.

The investigation revealed the man had forced his way into the residence and demanded the keys to the resident’s vehicle before fleeing the scene.

Forcier says officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of the stolen car travelling north on Highway Six towards Espanola.

A spike belt was deployed, but the driver continued.

However, she says, police eventually located the vehicle parked in Espanola and the suspect surrendered.

A 37-year-old Pickering, Ontario man has been charged with theft over $5,000, break and enter and driving under suspension.

He is to appear in Espanola Court August 10th.
