Mr. Kenton, of Toronto, has been charged with 16 counts of break and enter commit, 9 counts of break and enter with intent, 2 counts of trespassing at night, possession of burglars’ tools, 2 counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and various probation violations.He is scheduled to appear in court at 1000 Finch Avenue West on Friday at 10 a.m.
