The wrong house

The North Bay Police Service has arrested three teens and a 20-year-old man, and are looking for three other youths in connection with an unprovoked attack on a Front Street home Monday night.

Police said the incident began shortly after 10 PM when several young people attended the home and began kicking the front door.

They were unable to forcibly enter so they then began to break windows in the residence and a vehicle at the home.

They then fled the area.

Numerous police officers received the call to attend and began to search the area for the culprits.

Several male youths were arrested within the immediate area.

It turned out that the home that was attacked was not the one the youths intended to go to. This home was occupied by a lone elderly female occupant.

A 17-year-old male was arrested a short distance away from the residence. Police said he was carrying a knife with a 9” blade. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, mischief under $5000 and attempting to break and enter. He was kept in custody for a bail hearing.

A 16-year-old male was arrested nearby. He was charged with attempting to break and enter, carrying a concealed weapon, mischief, and breach of probation. He was also kept in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

Another 16-year-old male was also arrested nearby and he was charged with mischief under $5000 and having a dangerous weapon. He also was found to be in possession of a knife. And he was kept in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

Terrance SHEEDY, 20, of Martin Street, is charged with having a dangerous weapon and michief under $5,000.

The investigation continues and the investigators, Cst. Mark McLeod and Cst. Richard Hampel, are still looking for three other youths in connection with this incident.
