The Halton Regional Police Service has arrested and charged two men following a series of home break-ins that took place across Burlington and Oakville, Ontario. On March 16, 2026, police confirmed that 44-year-old Clayton McFarlane of Oshawa and 33-year-old Darnyl Campbell of Grimsby were taken into custody for crimes that occurred in November 2025.
According to the Halton Regional Police Service, the suspects targeted homes during the day when residents were not around. The individuals allegedly watched the houses before forcing their way through locked front doors to steal cash, jewellery, and other valuables from bedrooms.
The arrests were the result of a joint investigation between Halton officers and police services in York and Peel regions. Police officials noted that the break-ins caused significant concern for families living in the Orchard and Alton Village neighbourhoods, particularly those with homes near local trail systems and parks.
Both men face four counts of break and enter and four counts of disguise with intent. They appeared in a Milton court on March 6, 2026, and were ordered to remain in custody.
