Two people have been charged following a break-and-enter investigation in Waterford.
Members of the Norfolk County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a break-and-enter at a property on Green Street at approximately 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Investigators determined that two individuals had unlawfully entered a garage on the property during the overnight hours. Once inside, they gained entry to a vehicle and stole several items, including bank cards.
Police say the stolen bank cards were subsequently used to make fraudulent purchases at local businesses.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, October 13, officers located both suspects on Queensway East in Simcoe. The two were taken into custody without incident.
The accused face several charges, including break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, theft under $5,000, fraud under $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 in Canada, and failing to comply with a probation order.
Both individuals remain in custody and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe for bail hearings at a later date.
