BURLINGTON, ON October 12, 2011 It was a full night for a 17 year old Oakville male who managed to stealthily enter three homes and attempt to enter into a fourth on the night of October 9th.
The officer has complete control of the dog and while the animal is viscous and focused and he wasn’t prepared to let go of the rope the Constable was tugging at – one simple word – Kennel – and the dog slipped to the ground and walked directly to the back door of the police car and jumped in No whimpering, no looking back, no looking for a reward. A simple direct command and an immediate response.
The first break in was at an Oakville home where the youth took a purse and set of car keys from the residence and subsequently stole a vehicle from the driveway. The youth repeatedly rammed another vehicle in the driveway to make good his escape, leaving debris strewn throughout the neighbourhood.
Later, early that same morning the youth broke into several units of a townhouse complex in the Northampton Boulevard area in Burlington and entered several other units while residents slept.
Halton Regional Police brought in their K9 team and successfully tracked the male, locating him inside yet another home he had entered.
A 17-yr-old male from Oakville is charged with: Break and Enter (three counts), Attempt Break and Enter, Theft over $5000, Dangerous Driving, Fail to Remain C.C. and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Because the young man is under the age of 18 his identity is protected under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The “controlled substance” would have played a large role in the young man’s behaviour.
Detective continue to investigate these incidents and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Bob Lester at 905 825-4747 x2335 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222 TIPS(8477) or though the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.com or by texting “Tip201” with your message to 274637 (crimes).
