"A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 13, 1998 - 9 Robbery suspect has charges held over for hearing this month A 20-year old Scugog Township man made two appearances in court last week, and will be back in court later this month. Last Wednesday James Wells, who faces numerous charges in relation to armed robberies here and an escape attempt in Oshawa, had one set of charges set over to Jan. 26 for pre-trial. These charges are aggravated assault, assaulting police and fail- ing to appear, stemming from a court house incident before Christmas in which the Manchester resident is alleged to have slugged a police officer while being escorted to a cdurt room in Oshawa. A suspect was picked up by police in a nearby field several hours later. Wells is also facing three charges of robbery, three of possession of a danger- ous weapon, and one of threatening death and wearing a disguise while committing a crime. They stem from rob- beries at a Manchester donut shop last year, in which a female teen-aged clerk was threatened by a man with a knife. Wells appeared for a pre-trial on these charges Jan. 9, and the case was put over for trial on May 25. Wells is being held in custody. AL LL Break-ins investigated Durham Regional Police have been busy investigating a rash of local break-ins during the early few days of January. Between Jan. 3-8, police have been called to three area homes which were burglarized while their owners where away. 0 Sometime between Jan. 3 and 6 thieves entered a Silver St. resi- dence by getting through a locked north side base- ment window. They took off with an unknown quantity of jew- elry. Police were called to the home when a family member checking the res- idence discovered the break-in. a Police were also called to a Cadmus home after thieves broke into a resi- dence sometime between Jan. 3 and 8 while the owners were away. After cutting away the screen from a dining room window, thieves used a screwdriver to pry opena window. Upon entry, they made off with a Sony television, valued at $1,200; a $700 Sony VCR; a Sony AM/FM cassette player worth $200; a quantity of jewel- ry; and some liquor, say police. a Police also attended a call at a Highway 7A residence, just west of Port Perry, when thieves broke into a home on Jan. 5 while owners were away.
