Ontario Province Police say a break-and-enter in Huntsville early Tuesday morning ended in tragedy a few hours later in Orillia.
Because of the fatality, Ontario's Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate, police said in a news release.
Events began at 2:33 a.m., when police responded to a break and enter in progress at a grocery store in Huntsville.
Staff at the Freshmart off Highway 11 say two men broke into the store, taking roughly $30,000 in cigarettes, along with a safe.
"The suspects travelled to the City of Orillia, where a tire deflation device was deployed, effectively stopping the vehicle. The individuals then fled on foot and a second vehicle was stolen."
