TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford says masked men tried to steal a vehicle from his home overnight.

Ford says his Ontario Provincial Police detail thwarted the attempt at around 12:30 a.m.

The premier says officers chased down the men and arrested them.

Ford told the story at a press conference this morning after criticizing the bail system.

He says criminals are running amok and have created a lawless society.

The OPP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
