A Bradford man who was charged with break-and-enter, uttering threats, and assault, was charged again only hours later following a second incident shortly after his release from custody, according to police.

On Saturday, Oct. 7 at around 12:20 a.m., police responded to a home in the area of Holland Street East and Bingham Street in Bradford West Gwillimbury.

A resident reported he had confronted an unknown male in his driveway who was looking into the resident's vehicle, South Simcoe Police said in a news release.

The man tried to attack the resident who retreated into his house, police say.

The man then tried to break into the house while threatening the victim, police allege.

Police arrived on scene and a suspect was arrested.

Kyle Cabral, 36, of Bradford was charged with assault, break and enter, and uttering threats.

He was released at 7:15 a.m. with a future court date, police said.

However just over an hour later, at approximately 8:23 a.m., police were dispatched to a home in the area of Bingham Street and Centre Street Bradford West Gwillimbury for a break-in and assault, this time involving a female resident.

A man fled the scene before police arrived but was arrested without incident at a home in the area of Line 8 and Barrie Street. The victim and suspect were known to each other.

As a result of an investigation, Cabral was again charged, this time with break and enter, assault causing bodily harm, and mischief under $5,000.

He was held for a bail hearing.

None of the allegations have been tested in court and Cabral is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
