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 coordinator Peter Leon said.
Police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to email the investigating officer at [email protected] or call 705-725-7025.
