Three people have been arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in a break-and-enter in Southgate.
Grey Bruce OPP say they received a report from a concerned citizen just after noon Tuesday about a possible break and enter at a property on Grey Road 9 near Southgate Sideroad 61 — west of Hopeville.
“The caller reported observing multiple individuals running from a residence carrying what was believed to be stolen property before leaving the area in a vehicle,” Grey Bruce OPP Const. Kody Lyons says in a statement. “Officers quickly responded and were able to locate the suspect vehicle in Dundalk.”
OPP officers pulled the vehicle over and arrested all three occupants without incident.
A 43-year-old Southgate woman, 48-year-old Melancthon woman, and 44-year-old man of no fixed address are all charged with break and enter, theft under $5,000 and other offences.
The three accused were released in custody and have court dates in February.
Police say the stolen property was returned to its owner.
