31-year-old man from Maple has been charged following two reported break-ins at the same home in Caledon.
The first incident occurred on September 26 at a residence on Valleygreen Crescent, where valuable items, including vehicle key fobs, were stolen, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Just days later, on October 1, a second break-in was reported at the same location. This time, the suspect attempted to steal a vehicle, but police later recovered it. Officers obtained a search warrant and, upon searching a related property, seized stolen items and currency.
Usamah Kasis Bishara, 31, has been charged with multiple offences, including two counts of entering a dwelling with the intent to commit an indictable offence, possession of break-in instruments, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and under $5,000, and possession of a forged document. Additional charges include five counts of possession of a credit card and seven counts of possession of an identity document.
Bishara was held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville.
