(MORRIS-TURNBERRY, ON) – A North Huron resident remains in custody after police tracked him down hiding out at a cabin located on Huron-Bruce Road.
Huron County OPP officers received information July 14, that a wanted man had broken into a cabin and was taking shelter there. Just after 3:30 a.m., officers from Huron OPP, South Bruce OPP and Wingham Police Services converged on the property and set up containment.
