Two imports from Hamilton may not be going home soon.  They were arrested in connection to a rash of night-time residential break and enters in Burlington.

An observant citizen saw something that didn’t look quite right shortly after 5:00 am on the 5th of January and called police to report the suspicious activity.

Police converged on the area and quickly determined a residential break and enter was in progress into a home on Woodland Avenue. They arrested one male inside the home while another fled on foot but was later identified and arrested at his residence in the City of Hamilton. The first guy had turned on his partner in crime

Investigators have identified two more residences that were broken into and another where an entry was attempted.  In each instance, the homeowners /occupants were away.

Police have seized an involved vehicle that contained stolen property. A search warrant was executed in the City of Hamilton where money, jewellery, safes and electronics were recovered.

The investigation is ongoing with more charges expected as there are links to past similar break and enters that have occurred in Burlington and Oakville since October 2013.

Shane Curtis PYE-PERLER (04NOV1987) of Wilson Street in Hamilton is charged with:

3 counts of Break and Enter and commit indictable offence of theft
