25 Charges Laid Over Attempted Vehicle Break-In Near Wawa

Dozens of charges have been laid against a Windsor resident after a theft call at a business north of Wawa.

Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they were called to the business on Highway 17 north of Wawa around 2 o'clock last Saturday, November 16th - shortly after officers arrived, a suspicious person was observed trying to break into a vehicle on the property, leading the individual's arrest.

That's led to a total of 25 charges for the 27-year-old from Windsor, including: eight counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5000, another for over $5000; four counts each of mischief and fail to comply with recognizance; one each of possessing methamphetamine, other drugs, prohibited device or ammunition, and break-in instruments; and trespassing at night.

The accused has been remanded into custody pending a bail hearing.
