Police charge multiple drivers during RIDE spot-checks

A RIDE spot-check in the Clapperton and Collier Streets area in Sunday found six driving infractions, Barrie Police said in a news release.

In the span of under two hours, three drivers had their licenses suspended, one driver was charged for driving with open alcohol in the vehicle, two drivers were arrested and charged with impaired driving, and one driver was arrested and charged with refusal to provide a breath sample. 

Suspects charged in afternoon break and enter

Barrie Police have charged suspects involved in an afternoon break and enter on Sunday afternoon at an apartment complex on Edgehill Drive.

Police responded to reports of an in-progress break and enter around 4:17 p.m., police said in a news release, and located four suspects in the lobby.

Two men and two women were immediately taken into custody and have been jointly charged with theft. After further investigation, the incident was deemed not to be a break and enter but that items from the involved apartment were stolen.

Three of the suspects were released with conditions and one, a 35-year-old man from Barrie, was also charged with obstructing a police officer and is being held in custody.
