Peterborough Police Service officers responded around 1:25 a.m. to a break-and-enter and theft of vehicles reported from a business in the west-end area of Lansdowne Street and Spillsbury Drive.

Police say officers on general patrol in the area found a boy hiding on the business property, but when approached, he ran. Officers gave chase on foot and caught up to him a short distance away.

A 13-year-old boy from Whitby was arrested and charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, breaking and entering with intent to commit an indictable offence, and failing to comply with a release order.

Police say the teen is currently bound by a release order with several conditions and had been reported missing in another jurisdiction.

He was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on Dec. 11. Peterborough police turned him over to police in the other jurisdiction.
