On Sunday March 10, 2024 just prior to 7:00 p.m. Owen Sound Police received a report of a suspicious man pointing a firearm at a person in the area of 13 th Street West and 4 th Avenue West in Owen Sound.

Officers attended the area and located the suspect who immediately attempted to flee on his decrepit mountain bike. Officers gave chase and the suspect soon encountered a series of tall wooden fences leaving him with little choice but to discard his bike and continue his escape by
jumping over the fences.
