LAKESHORE, Ont. - Provincial police are crediting a southwestern Ontario homeowner with ending what investigators allege was a "multijurisdiction crime spree."
They say a Lakeshore resident reported that he had found a boy who had broken into his garage and had him in custody after a short foot chase.
When officers arrived, they arrested a 15-year-old Lakeshore boy and a 29-year-old woman from Windsor, Ont.
Investigators allege the pair were also involved in a truck theft in Windsor, a theft of cash from a gas station in Lakeshore, and a bicycle theft in Lasalle, Ont.
The boy faces 15 charges, including break and enter, theft, unauthorized possession of a weapon, assault with a weapon, and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
The woman is charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and break and enter.
