www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, August 23, 2013 | 4 Peter Gilgan YMCA raises Series of break-ins in Oakville $24K for Strong Kids campaign by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff The annual Ride for YMCA Strong Kids event, organized by YMCA summer camp counsellors, doubled its fundraising goal by collecting more than $24,000. Funds raised at the Aug. 14 ride, as well as other activities, will go towards helping more Oakville youngsters have the chance to experience summer camp. Held at the Peter Gilgan Family YMCA, 11 teams comprised of staff, volunteers and community partners, rode a stationary bike in six-minute intervals during the one-hour event. Participants were encouraged to take up the five-in-five challenge by donating $5 to ride for five minutes. The annual Camp Family Night took place on the same day with many summer camp activities including face painting, campfire cooking, games, a family movie under the stars and a free barbecue. All proceeds went to the YMCA Strong Kids campaign. Halton police are investigating following a break-in to a home on Springwood Crescent earlier this week. Some time between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, thieves entered the residence through an unlocked rear window on the main floor. Once inside, the intruders stole cash and electronics. The suspects did not move to the second floor where the homeowners were sleeping. · · · Halton police are also look- ing for the individuals responsible for a break-in to a home on Howell Road, Monday. Between noon and 8 p.m. that day, police said, someone entered the home through a rear sliding door. Once inside, the intruder removed a jackhammer and nail gun, which were being used to complete renovations on the home. A cellphone was also taken. No one was home at the time of the break-in. · · · Halton police are searching for the suspect involved with a break-in to a home on Bel Air Drive last Thursday (Aug. 15). During the early afternoon, someone entered the home through the front door while the homeowners were working in the backyard. The suspect went to a bedroom and stole jewelry before leaving the same way he or she entered. The intruder escaped unnoticed with the homeowners only realizing their home had been burglarized when they went inside.
