Pair arrested for string of thefts, mischiefs on Midland street

Two people have been charged in connection to a string of thefts and mischief incidents on Midland’s King Street.

A little before 5 a.m. on Oct. 19, officers were called to the King Street Hotel to investigate the theft of a motorcycle.

That led officers to locate and arrest a suspect who was attempting to commit another offence at a home on the street, police said. After a search, police found the suspect in possession of blue fentanyl.

Later in the morning, a King Street auto dealership reported that a number of vehicles awaiting repairs had been damaged, and some had been entered.

As a result of video surveillance, officers were able to identify two suspects.

A 31-year-old Penetanguishene man has been charged with six counts of mischief, theft under $5,000, trespassing and possession of an opioid.

He was held for a video bail hearing and will appear in court on Nov. 26.

A second person was arrested on Oct. 29.
