ORO-MEDONTE, Ont. – Ontario Provincial Police say two men have been charged in separate incidents at the Wayhome music festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont., north of Toronto.

Police say they were called 38 times during the three-day festival, which started last Friday.

Investigators say the first arrest is related to an alleged theft, though they don’t specify what was reportedly taken.

They say a 20-year-old Brampton man is charged with possession of property obtained by crime.

Police later arrested a 20-year-old Oakville man and charged him with sexual assault.

There was a police presence throughout the festival, which saw thousands camping at the site.
