Gravenhurst facing three counts of break and enter charges

A 30-year-old from Gravenhurst is facing three charges of break and enter and more after police responded to a call on Wahta Mohawk First Nation.

Bracebridge OPP says police were dispatched around 8:00 Friday morning (June 7) after the manager noticed a broken window while opening the centre for the day. 

Officers attended an address nearby and located the suspect, who surrendered himself to police.

According to the OPP, the accused is someone who they attempted to arrest back in May after a string of break and enters into Gravenhrust businesses.

Officials say they attempted the arrest on May 6, but the suspect fled on a bicycle.

A search was conducted with the assistance of the OPP K9 unit and OPP Emergency Response Team, however they were not able to locate the suspect.

The accused has been charged with: 

• Break and Enter CC 348(1)(b) X 3 
• Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling CC 349(1) 
• Mischief Under $5000 CC 430(4) 
• Resist Peace Officer CC 129(a) 
• Fail to Comply with Probation CC 733.1(1) X 2 

He has been held in custody and has a Bracebridge court date for a bail hearing in June.
