Vehicles Entered In Mount Forest

A trio of thieves targeted unlocked vehicles in Mount Forest earlier this week.

The OPP received numerous calls about vehicles being entered Saturday night or early Sunday in the areas around Albert and Ayrshire streets.

The suspects appeared to be after cash only. They removed identification and credit cards from vehicles and threw them in nearby ditches and front lawns.

Security video from one private driveway showed three suspects.

Police are looking for anyone with any information regarding this or any other criminal activity to contact the Wellington County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

The LOCK IT OR LOSE IT campaign is a crime prevention program that reminds the public to lock their vehicles and to remove the valuables and keys from within. This helps reduce the motivation and likelyhood of these types of property crimes.
