An early-morning break-in at a downtown Owen Sound business quickly went from bad to worse.
Owen Sound Police arrived at the shop shortly after 6:30 a.m. Sunday, and found the front glass door had been smashed and stock inside the business had been destroyed.
Police say merchandise had been taken including a high-end electric bicycle.
Police then determined seven additional people entered the store after the initial break-and-enter and each of those people were responsible for stealing more items.
On Monday and Tuesday, three of the people were located and arrested by police and held in custody pending bail hearings.
A 33-year-old woman of no-fixed-address was charged with break, enter and committing theft, along with failing to comply with probation.
A 55-year-old man of no-fixed-address was charged with break, enter and committing theft.
A 38-year-old man of no-fixed-address was charged with break, enter and committing theft along with failing to comply with probation.
Police expect to make more arrests and would like to speak with anyone who has information regarding the people responsible, as well as the whereabouts of the stolen property.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Owen Sound Police at 519-376-1234 or make an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers.

Quebec corruption police raiding offices of auto insurance board
The Quebec anti corruption permanent unit logo is shown Wednesday, October 16, 2024 in Quebec City. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot QUÉBEC — Quebec's corruption police are searching the headquarters of the province's auto insurance board. The auto board has been mired in a scandal for nearly two years over the botched rollout of its new online platform. An auditor general report earlier this year revealed the government wound up paying a total of $1.1 billion for the platform, which was $500 million more than expected. The board is responsible for issuing and renewing driver's licences, administering road tests and the provincial no-fault insurance system. The scandal surrounding the online platform has also been the subject of an ongoing public inquiry. Corruption police are refusing to give details on what led to the search at the board's Quebec City offices. In a statement, the police force says that in general its officers conduct searches to obtain evidence to confirm or refute wrongdoing. Amid mounting pressure, Éric Caire was forced to step down in February as cybersecurity and digital technology minister. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 18, 2025.
