In this case, truancy at the school was not the issue but in fact, just the opposite. Following a 3am visit on May 10, 2008, break and enter charges will be the lesson of choice for the co-accused. Bracebridge OPP members were dispatched to a series of alarms at the former high school and upon arrival, 3 teens were observed moving throughout the building in a game of cat and mouse. When a key holder arrived and allowed police into the building, the game quickly ended. Charged with Break and Enter are the following Bracebridge residents, Marcel Bissonette (18 years), Derek Hills (19 years) and another 17 year old male that cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). All 3 co-accused were released with future court dates. Inc # OP08128008. Contact: Prov. Const.
