Kingston police have charged three people with a brazen East End burglary

Kingston, Ont. Police say several people have been arrested and charged following a burglary at a home on the city’s east side last week.

Police say three people broke into a home in the area of ​​Rogers Side Road and Highway 2 on Saturday around 10:30 p.m., without realizing people were inside. A family member heard noises and saw someone with a flashlight in the hallway.

The family chased the would-be thieves out of the house. As the suspects tried to get into a getaway car, the homeowner blocked them with a car at the end of the cul-de-sac. Before police could arrive, an unknown person rammed the homeowner’s car with a pickup truck. The homeowner then went back inside and the suspects fled.

Police said their investigation revealed that one suspect had searched the house earlier in the day and returned with two others to rob it in the evening, not knowing anyone would be there.

Police arrested a 50-year-old woman and a 42-year-old woman on Sunday, each charged with burglary. A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary on Tuesday.

Police continue to search for the truck and driver. The truck is believed to be a 2016 or 2017 Dodge Ram, possibly dark or red in color. It is believed the truck will have significant front-end damage, including a missing headlight.

Anyone with information regarding this incident, the identity of the truck driver and/or the location of the truck is asked to contact Kingston Police.
