Five arrests made in break-and-enters
Friday, August 20, 2004 - Natalie Miller
Peterborough Lakefield Community Police say they have collapsed
an organized break-and-enter ring, which has been “active”
in the city since January.
Police arrested five people Wednesday after
break-ins into at least 30 storage trailers in Peterborough. More
than $27,000 worth of goods, mainly furniture, was stolen, police
say in a news release.
“It was an organized gang of individuals
who were targeting specific areas and stealing specific items
and they were being sold,” says media liaison officer Sergeant
Rob Hotston
Sgt. Hotston says a combination of police service
investigation and help from the public led to the arrests.
Police say thieves targeted storage trailers
at furniture stores, prying off or cutting locks to get inside.
Some of the stolen items have since been recovered at a number
of locations, police say.
Police continue to investigate and say they
expect to make additional arrests and recover more stolen items.
Carl McGlennon, 33, of no fixed address, is
charged with 14 counts of break, enter and theft. He was scheduled
to appear in court yesterday.
Kelly Ann Hall, 31, of George Street, is charged
with possession of property obtained by crime. She is scheduled
to appear in court Sept. 15.
Lisa McGlennon, 34, of Fenelon Falls is charged
with possession of property obtained by crime. She is scheduled
to appear in court Sept. 8.
Shawn Ellis, 34, of Parkhill Road West, is charged
with two counts of break, enter and theft and possession of property
obtained by crime. He is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 15.
Darrell Gemmond, 30, of Union Street, is charged
with possession of property obtained by crime. He is scheduled
to appear in court Sept. 8.
