Last week, between August 24ᵗʰ and August 30ᵗʰ, 2026, a 14-year-old youth was held for a bail hearing by the Brockville Police Service on three separate occasions for various offences. Since March of this year, the youth has been involved in 33 separate police occurrences and has been held for bail on nine occasions in relation to multiple criminal offences, including but not limited to:

• Assault x 2
• Assault with a Weapon
• Assaulting a Peace Officer x 2

The following day, August 30, 2026, at approximately 6:00pm, police were once again called to the youth’s residence. An investigation revealed that the youth was again in breach of their bail conditions. Upon arrival, officers placed the youth under arrest, at which time they became agitated. The youth began striking their head against the interior glass partition of the police vehicle, which has been recurring behaviour. As a result, officers attended Brockville General Hospital to obtain medical attention for a minor self-inflicted injury.

While at the hospital, the youth began consuming the contents of an ice pack. When hospital staff attempted to intervene and provide assistance, the youth began attempting to spit blood at staff members.

The youth was held for a bail hearing on additional counts of failing to comply with their bail conditions. They were subsequently held in custody pending further review in relation to their repeated and violent behaviour.

Individual Arrested for Impaired Driving

On August 29, 2026, at approximately 2:30am, an officer with the Brockville Police Service was on patrol when they observed a vehicle in the area of Stewart Boulevard pulling out from the rear of a business.

The vehicle was ultimately stopped in the area of Comstock Crescent. The driver was identified as an 18-year-old, male who was believed to have been consuming alcohol. The driver provided a breath sample into a roadside screening device, which resulted in a fail. The driver was arrested and transported to the Brockville Police Service for further testing, which confirmed that he was impaired.

The vehicle was impounded, the driver’s licence was suspended, and the driver was charged with operation while impaired by alcohol and operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration over 80 mg.

In the past week, since August 21ˢᵗ, our police service has engaged in 362 occurrences. These occurrences have resulted in 17 Arrests. Out of those arrests, seven were regarding outstanding warrants for criminal charges and five in relation to individuals failing to comply with their bail conditions.

A Youth is Now Facing Numerous Charges Following a Series of Incidents for Failing to Stop for Police

At the beginning of August, a 17-year-old, male was charged for numerous traffic related offences after he failed to stop for police while operating a blue Yamaha sport motorcycle. Some of the charges included stunt driving, failing to stop, and multiple insurance and permit related offences along with a 14-day impound of the motorcycle.

On August 26, 2026, an officer attempted to stop the blue Yamaha motorcycle in the area of Stewart Boulevard and Centennial Road. The driver failed to stop and could not be positively identified at that time; however, it was suspected that the same male was the driver.

On August 27, 2026, at approximately 11:30pm, an officer observed the blue Yamaha motorcycle travelling on North Augusta Road. When efforts were made to stop the motorcycle, the driver again failed to stop for police. Based on the information gathered from an investigation, officers believed the motorcycle was the same one involved in previous incidents.

The investigation led officers to the area of Kensington Parkway, where a short time later, officers observed the motorcycle travelling in the area and entered the Kensington Plaza parking lot.

Once parked, officers moved in and prevented the motorcycle from leaving. The rider, identified as same 17-year-old, male then attempted to flee on foot. Officers pursued the male on foot, entering a nearby apartment building, where he was arrested. The male did resist arrest, but control was gained quickly without incident.

As a result of the investigation, the subject has been charged with:

• Flight from Police
• Resisting Arrest
• Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle
• Additional Highway Traffic Act offences
• Seven-Day Vehicle Impoundment
The subject was later released with conditions and a future court date.

More Jewelry Stolen in Another Distraction Theft

The Brockville Police Service previously issued a media release on June 10, 2026, regarding a distraction-style jewelry theft. In that incident, suspects approached a woman in a residential area and attempted to sell her a necklace.
