Over the past two weeks officers from the Saugeen Shores Police Service have investigated break and enters to 64 trailers at the Port Elgin Trailer Park, the Southampton Trailer Park and Riverbend Trailer Park. Many of these entries had the doors forced but little to no damage was done. As well many of the trailers were only entered and there was no theft from within. Alcohol, electronic equipment such as flat screen tv’s, phones, bicycles, fire extinguishers were among the items stolen or taken and discarded near the break and enters. A 16 year old youth and an 18 year old male have been arrested and police continue to investigate. Four other suspects are being looked at for the various break and enters. Quite a few of the trailer owners have yet to attend and make a determination what if anything was stolen from their trailer. If you are missing something please report it to the police as we have some property in our possession now to identify and return. Police continue to investigate, if you have any information that could assist police in this investigation please call 519-832-9200 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
