Good 'Old Fashioned Police Work' Nabs Would-Be Thief In Toronto Creek

BY IAN CROUCH

Officers have relied on old fashioned police work to arrest a would-be thief at Toronto.

The occupants of a home on Anzac Parade returned just after 1.00pm on Monday to find a man ransacking their residence.

He ran off dropping allegedly stolen items as he went.

Police were called and set up a perimeter, with a police dog tracking the man to a nearby creek.

They commandeered a boat and found the 22-year-old lying in mangroves trying to camouflage himself.

He's been refused bail to face Toronto Local Court today (Tuesday 19 June 2019) charged with break and enter.
