In the early hours of this morning, around 2 a.m., emergency services responded to an incident on Bocks Road in Oakville. A group reportedly drove a utility vehicle onto the premises and proceeded to smash several windows.
Shortly thereafter, the group allegedly set the vehicle on fire.
Upon the arrival of police officers, the individuals fled the scene on foot, while one person managed to get into another vehicle and drive off.
Law enforcement pursued the vehicle, bringing it to a halt on Fontana Drive at The Gables. The driver, however, attempted to escape once more on foot.
A subsequent search led to the arrest of a 17-year-old boy, who was then taken to the Windsor Police Station for further questioning.
The ute was extinguished, and further investigations found that it had reportedly been stolen last month.
The occupants of the home, a man and woman in their 50s, were uninjured following the incident, and an investigation is now underway.
