POLICE BRIEF
Thefts from
vehicles in
Huron County
HURON COUNTY — Last week-
end Huron OPP received numer-
ous complaints of thefts from
vehicles throughout Huron
County. The Huron OPP would
like to remind the public to lock
up all unattended vehicles, as
locked up vehicles are less likely
to be broken into. Change and
valuables like wallets, purses and
cell phones make entering vehi-
cles profitable and irresistible to
prowling thieves.
