Car thieves thwarted Two men have been taken into police custody after numerous vehicles in the Pine Glen Road area were broken into early Friday morning. Police said, shortly after 4:30 a.m. an Oakville resident observed a man breaking into a car on Pine Glen Road and gave chase. The Oakville resident eventually caught up to the man at which point the man pulled out a large screwdriver and threatened the Oakville resident before making his escape. Moments later, Halton police converged on the area and quickly arrested a suspect who was found hiding in a nearby yard. A second suspect was also located near the scene along with a considerable amount of allegedly stolen property. Alvaro Yepz, 21, of Toronto, has been charged with assault with a weapon, possession of break-in tools, theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Derek Taylor, 21, of Aurora, has been charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Police said, a large quantity of the recovered property still has yet to be claimed. They are asking residents in the area of Pine Glen Road and Creekmount Drive, who had property taken from their vehicle during the morning of April 10 to call Halton police at 905-878- 5511 ext 2215. Police are once again reminding residents to keep their vehicles locked, to refrain from leaving valuable property inside their cars and to call police if they see any suspicious activity. 5 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, April 15, 2009 WE P THE TAX AY Hoover Central Vac · 3 way switch hose and deluxe power head · 3 stage motor and self cleaning filter · 9 piece tool set Amazingly Priced! $ E m tio FT FhRyouEenGnIthis ad w en 599 WE PAY THE TAXES!
