Two males have been charged following a break-and-enter investigation.
On Thursday, October 28th, just after 4:00 a.m., the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) responded to a residence in the area of Threshing Mill Boulevard and Ballmer Trail in Oakville, for reports of a break and enter in progress. The home owner believed someone had entered the home while the occupants were inside. The home owner further advised that a vehicle belonging to the address (a 2020 white Mercedes Benz) had just been stolen from the driveway.
Officers in the area then saw two vehicles driving in tandem towards them at a high rate of speed.
The first vehicle appeared to be a white Mercedes and the second vehicle was observed to be a blue compact sedan with 4 doors. Both vehicles fled the area. The Mercedes was not located; however, the blue sedan was stopped by officers in the area of Dundas Street and Eighth Line a short time later. Two people were in the vehicle. Officers on scene at the residence were able to confirm that the blue vehicle was involved in the theft of the Mercedes and entry to the residence. Both occupants of the vehicle were placed under arrest. The white Mercedes was recovered (unoccupied) by Toronto Police Service just after 5:00 a.m..
A 17-year-old male from Mississauga and a 19-year-old male from Kitchener have both been charged with:
- Break and Enter;
- Possession of Break in Instruments; and,
- Theft of Motor Vehicle.
Both parties were released with a court date.
