Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged one person with several offenses related to ongoing investigations into the break and entry in Gravenhurst.
Bracebridge OPP, with the assistance of the Muskoka Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU), has been investigating several breaks and entry into business locations in Gravenhurst in April and May 2024. As a result of the investigation, police identified a suspect and, on May 6, 2024, attempted to execute an arrest of that person in Gravenhurst. The suspect fled on a bicycle, and a search was conducted into the late evening with the assistance of the OPP K9 unit and OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT). However, the search was unsuccessful in locating the suspect.
At 8:00 a.m. on June 7, 2024, police were dispatched to a break-and-enter that occurred at the Cultural Healing Centre on the Wahta Mohawk First Nation after the manager noticed a broken window while opening the center for the day. The investigation revealed that the suspect was the same person related to the ongoing investigation in the town of Gravenhurst. Officers attended an address nearby and located the suspect, who surrendered himself to police.

- Break and Enter CC 348(1)(b) X 3

- Fail to Comply with Probation CC 733.1(1) X 2
He has been held in custody and will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge for a bail hearing on June 10, 2024.
