The Nottawasaga Detachment of the OPP received information of runaway youths on March 21 at 12:08 a.m.
As a result of receiving this information members of the OPP Nottawasaga immediately commenced an investigation which resulted in the recovery of a stolen motor vehicle, a stolen Arctic Cat snow machine and a stolen bike valued at over $1000.
Investigation revealed the youths had been involved in the theft of an automobile which was recovered in Alliston. One of these youths later stole a bicycle and was tracked by members of the Ontario Provincial Police Emergency Response Team (ERT) assisted by members of the OPP Nottawasaga to a commercial rooftop. The Town of New Tecumseth Fire Department were called to assist with removing this youth from the rooftop.
Quick action by these members of the OPP not only resulted in the recovery of stolen property and also prevented serious harm to the youth who was found shaking uncontrollably due to the onset of hypothermia.
Currently two young persons are facing numerous criminal charges as a result of this continuing investigation.
