He also pleaded guilty to mischief for his part in an October 2021 incident in Lake of Bays that involved him smashing in the taillight of a vehicle, and another party firing a gun into the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Court heard that in July of 2021 the Huntsville OPP launched an investigation into a string of break and enters that had occurred across the region. As a result of the investigation, police were able to determine that Harwood had broken into a number of garages over the past several months. It was determined he had stolen a wide range of items including a 2021 ATV, a Honda dirt bike, various tools, beer, money, and a chainsaw. The thefts occurred at residences in Bracebridge, Huntsville, and Lake of Bays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one instance Harwood was caught in the act on video and in another instance, the victim was able to get his license plate number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Court heard that in a separate incident on Oct. 21, 2021, police received a call about a man on a dirt bike chasing another person in Lake of Bays Township. The caller reported that shots were fired and a female had a firearm. Court heard the incident led to a crash between the dirtbike, which Harwood was driving, and the car. Harwood then smashed the taillights of the car with an unknown item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman who had fired the gun said the vehicle had been at their residence and they believed it was suspicious and fired a warning shot. She was also charged in relation to the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It turned out that at the time of the incident Harwood was out after a court-ordered curfew and riding a stolen dirt bike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harwood was ultimately sentenced to 12 months in jail, less time served in pre-trial custody.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ATV, dirt bike, tools and beer were all pilfered from garages across Muskoka as part of a one-man crimewave, a Bracebridge court heard recently.
