A desperate search is underway for Dumbledore, a small, fluffy white dog who vanished during a terrifying home invasion in Caledon. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, leaving a family distraught and their beloved pet missing.
Police responded to a break-in near Mount Hope Road and Old Church Road around 1:50 a.m. In the chaos, Dumbledore, described as having curly or wavy white fur, bolted from the house and hasn’t been seen since. Investigators are deeply concerned for his well-being.
The Caledon OPP are urging anyone with information, or who may have spotted a small white dog in the area, to come forward immediately. The investigation into the robbery itself is ongoing, involving multiple specialized units.
Meanwhile, in Peterborough County, a heated argument between siblings took a shocking and dangerous turn. A dispute escalated into a violent fight, resulting in one sibling suffering burns to the face.
Police were called to a residence Tuesday afternoon and learned that during the altercation, one sibling allegedly grabbed a pot of boiling liquid and threw it at the other. A 43-year-old man was arrested and faces charges of assault with a weapon and causing bodily harm.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. The details surrounding the incident are still unfolding, but the severity of the injuries highlights the tragic consequences of uncontrolled anger.
In Oshawa, a potentially dangerous situation was averted at the Oshawa Centre shopping mall. Mall security alerted police to three young males who were observed concealing what appeared to be handguns.
Tactical officers quickly responded and apprehended the three suspects without incident. A search revealed the “handguns” to be imitation firearms. The boys, aged 12, 13, and 14, were released to their parents but issued formal trespass notices, banning them from the mall.
Authorities are investigating the incident to determine the intent of the youths and why they were carrying the imitation weapons. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Durham Regional Police.
