Crime spree ends in Saltford A 25 -year-old male from Central Huron remains in custody after he attended court on April 27. Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid 13 charges against the accused in connection to a series of events that unfolded last week. Just before 3 p.m. on April 26 Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a complaint of a possible impaired driver on Saltford Road. Police received information that a male driver had driven to a residence in Saltford and parked a vehicle on the front lawn of the caller's property. The driver tried to leave the property in the vehicle however the engine had sustained significant damage and the vehicle was immobile. The driver abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot heading toward the Maitland River carrying a case of beer. Officers were able to locate the male driver walking toward the river. Upon speaking with the male police observed several signs that the male was intoxicated. Upon confirming the identity of the driver he was placed under arrest for impaired driving. He later refused to provide a breath sample to the Intoxilizer Technician. Further police investigation revealed the driver started his crime spree that morning in Clinton. The accused first stole an unlocked 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck from a Huron Street business. He later drove to a property located on Bluewater Veterans' Highway where he forced entry into the residence and stole a case of beer. He then abandoned the pickup truck and stole a Plymouth sedan from the scene. The episode continued when the driver was observed spinning his tires on several front lawns located on Westmount Line. After tearing up the lawns the driver took off with the damaged vehicle where it came to a stop at the Saltford Road property. The Central Huron man faces the following charges: • Two counts of Theft of a Motor Vehicle Over $5,000 • Break, Enter Dwelling House — Commit Theft • Impaired Driving • Refuse to Provide Breath Sample • Driving While Disqualified • Driving While Under Suspension • Four counts of Mischief Under $5,000 • Two counts of Fail to Comply with Probation Order. The accused was held in custody prior to an April 29 video court appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Goderich.
