Lambton OPP want to identify someone seen leaving a Forest business with some expensive equipment.
On Dec. 11, around 2 am, police were called to a business on Union Street near the local high school for a break and enter. Someone made their way into an outdoor enclosed area by cutting through a fence between 12:35 am and 2 am, stealing a Dyson air purifier and Dyson heaters. Police say the equipment is valued at $2,400.
Police are looking for a 20 to 30 year-old man, with a thin build, wearing a green hoodie, black jacket and black boots.
If you have any information about the break-in, you’re asked to call the OPP 1-888-310-1122.
