Two people face multiple charges after a short chase in the Chatsworth and West Grey areas.

Early Tuesday morning, OPP responded to a call about a stolen pick-up truck from a home on Grey Rd 3. While investigating that call, police found an abandoned car with the keys still inside. That car had been reported stolen as well.

A short time later, another pick-up was spotted being driven recklessly through a farmer's field on the Dutch Ln in West Grey. The vehicle continued travelling through several fields before getting stuck at the rear of a property on Hwy 6. A female suspect associated to the stolen truck was arrested at the scene.

A second suspect had fled the scene on a stolen ATV but eventually abandoned that and fled on foot.

That male suspect was apprehended while attempting to break into a property on Concession 4 back in the Township of Chatsworth.
