An Owen Sound youth faces a myriad of criminal charges after what can only be described as a crime spree over a period of hours early Sunday morning (August 29^th, 2010), between about midnight and 6 am.

All of the incidents occurred within the Municipality of Meaford.

An enclosed porch area was entered at a residence on the 7^th Line and several sets of keys were stolen which were used to gain entry to vehicles stored on the property. A second rural property was targeted on the 7^th line, a barn and garage were entered, and then the gates to a paddock were opened allowing six miniature horses to escape onto the roadway which put them in obvious danger. Another barn was entered on the same road and a harness was put on a race horse. Once again the gate to the property was left open and that horse escaped leaving it and the motoring public at risk.
