The most recent thefts occurred Aug. 24 when someone in the last day entered onto property on Orchard Line in Central Huron and stole a blue three wheel adult bike. The second theft occurred in Exeter when a youth left their locked bike at the Exeter swimming pool on Huron Street. The theft occurred Aug. 25 around 8 p.m. Stolen was a 2004 blue/red Dyno Void 21 speed mountain bike. Huron OPP are reminding owners to lock their bikes and fasten them to a solid unmoveable object.
