Canine Unit aids in attempted break and enter

On Sunday, February 11th, 2207 at approx. 8:15 am a concerned citizen called the South Simcoe Police Service advising that he had just witnessed a man peeking into his residence and it appeared that he was trying to break-in. Police attended to the Ladywood Way area in Innisfil and set up Containment in the area.

The complainant advised officers that the male went towards a neighbours residence just before police arrived. The South Simcoe Police Canine attended the area to assist. Officers attended to the neighbours house and knocked on the door.

The neighbour was home and was asked to check to make sure all doors were secured. He came back and told police that there was one door that was insecure. He advised he was home with his wife and son. South Simcoe Canine with ERU members started on a track which led to the neighbours back door. Officers quickly removed the owners of the home incase the individual was inside.

PSD (Police Service Dog) RAZOR lead the officers into the basement of the home and indicated that there was someone hiding behind the stairwell door.

Officers quickly moved in and arrested a 32 year old male from Baysville Ontario. He has a court date set for March to face charges of Break and Entering.
