(South Huron, ON) On September 9, 2009 at approximately 4:30 pm two males entered the Canadian Tire store in Exeter and stole 6 GPS units. The GPS units were removed from a locked cabinet and the value of the stolen property was nearly $2,000.00. A surveillance video caught the thieves in the act. Huron OPP officers attended the store and reviewed the video which included footage of the suspects and their vehicle.
Investigation led police to an unrelated event in the county and the owner of the vehicle was located. He matched the footage from the surveillance video and was arrested.
Daniel Ritchie (19) of Tilbury has been charged with one count of Theft Under $5000. He will return to Goderich court on October 22, 2009 to answer to his charge. The second male, a 17 year old Tilbury man has also been identified and will be facing the same charge.
