Barrie police are looking for a man who allegedly entered an unlocked home near Yonge Street and Little Avenue in an attempt to steal a car.
The incident occurred overnight into Sunday when police say the suspect took a set of keys and tried to steal the vehicle.
However, police say the man was unable to figure out how to drive the car, which had a standard transmission.
“And with it being a cold night, the windshield was frosted up, so he really couldn’t drive away too easily,” police communications co-ordinator Peter Leon said.
Police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to email the investigating officer at [email protected] or call police at 705-725-7025.
