BREAK AND ENTER
(SAUBLE  BEACH, ON.) – Bruce Peninsula OPP received a report of a break-in to a cottage in the first block of Lakeshore Blvd.  Both cottage doors were kicked in but nothing appears taken.  The entry occurred between the 24th and 25th of July.

PORT-A-POTTI SET ABLAZE
(SOUTH BRUCE PENINSULA, ON.) – A port-a-pottiwas set on fire at the Isaac Lake Conservation Area near the boat dock on Isaac Lake Road late Friday evening.  A farmer cutting hay nearby saw the blaze and called emergency services.  Fire and police attended the scene.  Fortunately there was nothing near the portable washroom to catch fire but considering the potential to start a forest fire in such a remote location the party responsible for this mischief was extremely reckless.  If any member of the public has information about this matter, please call the OPP or Crime Stoppers.

IMPAIRED DRIVER’S PASSENGER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
(SAUBLE BEACH, ON.) – A traffic stop in Sauble Beach during the early morning hours of Sunday resulted in a 23-year-old Wiarton man being charged with Impaired Driving, Driving Over the Legal Limit and Driving while Disqualified.  Charged is Jordon Sutter, age 23 of Wiarton, Ontario.  He is scheduled to appear in Owen Sound Court on August 26th. 

While this matter was being investigated, the vehicle passenger, a 21-year-old South Bruce Peninsula man, became abusive and was arrested for being Intoxicated in a Public Place.  While he was being taken to Sauble Beach Detachment, he assaulted the officer escorting him resulting in a second charge of Assault Police.  He will appear in Owen Sound Court on September 23rd.

A second person, a 29-year-old female from Saugeen First Nation, was given an alcohol related three-day-driver’s licence suspension after being reported driving erratically and playing loud music.  This occurred on French Bay Rd., Saugeen First Nation about 2:55 am Sunday.

WATCH WHO YOU ARE FOLLOWING
(SOUTH BRUCE PENINSULA, ON.) – A 68-year-old Kitchener man was charged with Following too Close after he decided to tailgate an unmarked police cruiser on Bruce Rd. 10 south of Hepworth.  The officer stopped the man and issued a ticket for the HTA offence.

 

 A 21-year-old Owen Sound man was injured when he swerved to avoid being struck by a car Friday evening.

The young man was travelling eastbound on his yellow motorcycle on 6/21 Highway around 7:30 pm.  He was travelling in the outside lane when a black Mercedes Benz turned into his lane cutting him off and forcing him to ground his motorcycle which slid into the ditch.    The man received non life threatening injuries.  The collision occurred near the West Side Nursery on the Sunset Strip.  The driver of the Mercedes Benz did not stop but continued into Owen Sound.

Traffic was heavy at the time and police are asking any member of the public who witnessed the collision or who can identify the Mercedes Benz that left the scene, to call the Grey County OPP or Crime Stoppers.
