Break and Enter

Date: Thursday, October 16, 2014 – 1:15am
On the 16th of October 2014, at approximately 1:15am, police received a call from a citizen who was witnessing two males break into a restaurant in the area of Ferndale and Dunlop Street.

Police responded immediately and observed the two males exit the premise carrying food products. One male was immediately placed under arrest for break and enter while the second male fled north along Ferndale on foot and ran into a near by bush area.

Other police units quickly responded and a perimeter was set up in the area in an attempt to quarantine the outstanding suspect for the Police K-9 unit.

Barrie Police K-9 attended the scene and the dog immediately picked up the scent of the outstanding suspect. The dog tracked to the bush area and the suspect was located hiding in the bush a short distance from the break in. The male was immediately placed under arrest by officers.

Two 25 year old Barrie males are now facing charges of Break, Enter and commit theft and possession of property obtained by crime. One male was released with a November court date while the second male was wanted by the OPP on an outstanding warrant. He will be held pending a bail hearing.
