After collecting evidence and surveillance footage, an officer spotted the stolen vehicle just after 3:30 p.m. on Saturday travelling on Forest Glen Trail in Gravenhurst.
When the officer attempted to pull the vehicle over, the driver allegedly tried to flee; however, police say it became stuck, and the suspect continued to flee on foot.
Officers contained the area with the help of the OPP's K-9 Unit, Emergency Response Team and information from community members. The suspect was eventually located and arrested.
A 15-year-old from Port Carling was charged with two counts of mischief over $5,000, two counts of property damage, and two counts of break-and-enter and theft, among more than a dozen offences.
Two additional 15-year-olds have been identified and are also facing charges. The investigation remains ongoing.
