WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police have charged a man from Ingersoll who allegedly broke into a home armed with a weapon while the occupants were sleeping.
Officers were initially called early Sunday morning after a Chevrolet Cruz was stolen from the Ingersoll area. The man driving the stolen car took it to Woodstock where he broke into a house with three people sleeping inside.

Another man in the house was able to call 9-1-1 and they were able to get the man to leave the scene.
Police say he also threatened one of the neighbors with a weapon while leaving the area in his stolen car. Police caught up with the man in the stolen chevy a short while later. He refused to pull over and led police on a short chase before they could make the arrest.

possession of stolen property, break and enter, mischief, dangerous operation of a vehicle, utter threats x 2, and assault with a weapon.
