A 44-year-old man “responsible for numerous break and enters” in York and Durham regions has been arrested and is now facing 30 charges, police say.
Durham Regional Police said that on Friday, officers responded to four separate break and enters in Brooklin, Ont.
Investigators were able to identify the suspect with help from surveillance video at the victims’ homes.
Police said that on Sunday at around 4:45 a.m., officers located the suspect leaving a home in a gated community on Wyndance Way in Uxbridge.
Police said he again committed a break and enter and was arrested.
Durham police’s K9 unit helped with the arrest. Police said the suspect was taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries as a result of a dog bite.

Mackey was held for a bail hearing.
