Emergency Medical Services also attended the location to treat the victim for minor injuries.

A description of the snowmobile and operator was provided to officers who then patrolled the local areas. A short time later, a person was arrested in relation to the incident.

As a result, Bailey CRUMB (aged 20) from the Township of Hamilton, has been charged with:

– Assault with a weapon.

The accused is due to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at a future date.

On January 27, 2025, at approximately 7:35 a.m., OPP responded to an attempted break and enter on Ganaraska Road in the Municipality of Port Hope.
