MAJOR CRIMES OF NOVEMBER On November 14 the Seaforth Police Force started an investigation into a sex- ual assault on a 12 -year-old female. The perpetrator of this crime has been iden- tified, but for the protection of the victim, further details are being withheld at this time. Box Furniture was the victim of a shoplifting. It had a video cassette recorder, valued at $835, stolen from its premises. Two instances arose where narcotics were involved. Arena staff reported fin- ding marijuana plants in the garbage dumpster. As a result of a search warrant a quantity of marijuana plants were seized at a local residence. Frauds were also a major complaint in November, as a number of Seaforth businesses were the victim of NSF cheques. Liquor seizures were up over the same period last year and Highway Traffic Act charges were double those in November 1987. The Seaforth Bowling Alley was broken into on November 27 and approximately $366 worth of items were stolen. Three young offenders have been apprehended and charged. There have been numerous complaints about nher na nhnno pulls - mrtstt rwwived during the day, and at various places of business. To date the Seaforth Police Force has been unable to trace the caller, and say the culprit may continue his effort to disturb area citizens. In the month of November 14 parking tickets were issued -10 for parking in a no parking zone and four for improper park- ing. Also in the month of November Seaforth Police investigated six accidents.
