Stolen car leads to animal shelter break-in arrest
Police played a game of cat and mouse to catch some bandits.
It began on Monday when a Tottenham resident reported their car had been stolen from their driveway on Metcalf Crescent.
Shortly afterwards, the car's occupants were involved in a break-and-enter at a local Alliston Humane Society, where a quantity of cash and other items were taken.
Video surveillance of the break-and-enter showed one of the two suspects wearing a distinct disguise, including a balaclava.
A Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) with the Nottawasaga Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) spotted the car in Alliston on Wednesday.
