Tools Stolen During Break And Enter

(PERTH SOUTH, ON) – A residential property in the Township of Perth South was entered during the overnight hours of March 19, 2018. Members of the Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to an address in the area of Flax Mill Road where a quantity of tools were removed from a garage.

With the milder weather approaching, property owners should be aware that criminal activity tends to increase. Although a large majority of break and enter or theft occurrences take place during hours of darkness, day time thefts are also reported. Be observant; report suspicious vehicles or persons in your neighbourhood to police immediately, regardless of the time.

Too often, several addresses in the same area are affected by property crime. Locking your residence, vehicle, shed is the first line of defence. Criminals are simply moving from one vehicle or property to the next, searching for unlocked and insecure items.

Property crimes are crimes of opportunity. Secure your property and remove the opportunity”
