(MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH PERTH, ON) On Tuesday June 10, 2014, Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers were called to a residence on Boyne Ave. South in Listowel where the homeowner discovered a theft from his attached garage.
Investigation revealed that sometime between 9:30 p.m. Monday June 9th and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday June 10th 2014, five golf clubs were removed from a golf bag located in the garage. The overhead garage door of the garage had accidentally been left open during the night.
Stolen golf clubs:
– Adams Speedline Tech Driver
– Ping G 15 Driver
– Taylor Made R7 3 Wood
– Taylor Made R7 5 Wood
– Odyssey White Ice Putter
While officers were investigating this theft, they spoke with a neighbour living down the street of the victim. The neighbour advised that his unlocked garage had also been entered sometime between June 7th and June 9th, and two bicycles were stolen. He had not bothered to report this break-in to police. As the neighbour provided the description of the stolen bicycles to police, the officers immediately recognized one of the described bikes as one that was recovered in town on June 9th.
These two incidences reiterate the need to lock our homes and garages, and to immediately report criminal activity to police.
