WELLINGTON NORTH - Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has received numerous calls about unlocked vehicles being entered overnight Augu. 26 - Aug. 27, 2017. The suspects conducted several vehicle entries in the Town of Mount Forest surrounding the Ayrshire Street area as well as the Albert Street area.
The suspects appeared to target cash and loose change, leaving several items of value behind. They removed identification and credit cards from vehicles and threw those items in nearby ditches and front lawns.
