Halton Regional police have arrested two teens and a child after they say three stolen vehicles were recovered during a Milton, Ont. crime spree investigation earlier this week.

In a news release issued Friday, officials say that on Oct. 21 at around 2:45 a.m. police were contacted after an attempted break-in to a vehicle in the Kovachik Boulevard area in Milton.

Police said the suspects triggered a car alarm and officers quickly attended the area and located three stolen vehicles attempting to flee.

Police said officers stopped one of the stolen vehicles in the Tremaine Road and Gordon Krantz Boulevard area with the use of a tire deflation device. The three occupants of the stolen vehicle were arrested.

A 15-year-old male youth from Hamilton, Ont., and a 16-year-old female youth from Ancaster, Ont., have been charged with multiple offences, including:

• Trespass by Night
• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime
• Flight from Police
• Dangerous Operation
• Fail to Comply with Probation Order

Investigators said they anticipate additional charges will also be laid. Police said both individuals were held in custody pending a bail hearing.

A third youth, aged 11, was also arrested but police said they could not be charged with a criminal offence due to their age.

Police said they were unable to stop the second stolen vehicle. However, a third stolen vehicle was found unoccupied a short time later. Investigators said they are actively working to identify and arrest the occupants.

Police said they have linked the group to four stolen vehicles and at least eight attempted or successful vehicle break-ins that occurred in Milton on Oct. 20 and 21.

Three of the four stolen vehicles have since been recovered by police and returned to their owners, officers said.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact police.
