Barrie Police received information about a vehicle being driven erratically in a parking lot at Bayfield and Ferndale. A witness reported that 4 youth had exited the vehicle and left the area after the vehicle became incapacitated due to a collision with a curb and small tree.
Investigation revealed that the group of youth had been stealing property from unlocked vehicles in the area and had somehow managed to steal the vehicle in the process. These incidents occurred in the area of Kestrel Court and Osprey Ridge. Anyone who may have had some property stolen is asked to contact PC Tombs at 705-725-7025.
The 4 youths in this incident now face a total of 14 criminal charges.

The incidents of vehicle windows being broken to access property are extremely rare in Barrie. This crime can widely be avoided simply by insuring car doors are locked at night.
