Three sought in Watford tool theft
November 27, 2024
Lambton OPP are looking for three people, two dressed in white painters coveralls, after over $14,000 in tools were taken from a Watford industry.
OPP say on Nov. 12, around 4:20 am, officers were called to Industrial Drive in Watford for a break and enter.
Police say three people drove into the business 10 minutes before they arrived in a white full-sized cargo van with a burned out headlight. They broke in and stole over $14,500 in tools.
Two of the people wore white coveralls resembling those worn by painters. The third was dressed in dark pants and a light-coloured jacket.
Police are still investigating and ask that anyone who may have information about the theft call the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
