(MONO, ON) -Members of the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a resident of Shelburne and a resident of Melancthon Township with multiple theft-related offenses following a police investigation.

On November 18, 2024, at approximately 9:00 a.m., Dufferin OPP officers were dispatched to a rural farm property on 30th Sideroad in the Town of Mono for a reported break and enter. Upon arrival, officers found a dismantled cedar rail fence, with approximately 400 cedar rails piled up, along with a missing weed trimmer. It appeared that the suspects had stacked the cedar rails, likely intending to return later.

On November 21, 2024, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Dufferin OPP responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle at the same property. Upon arrival, officers found that the gate had been opened and the lock was missing. As they entered the property, they observed a vehicle exiting and stopped it for investigation. The two suspects were determined to be responsible for both the initial break and enter and the theft.
