Port Hope Police – Not So Savvy Thieves Steal Parking Meter

In Police Blotter

Port Hope Police are investigating a theft of a parking meter from Johns Street. Police responded to the area shortly after 10pm the 18th of June when a witness reported people loading the meter into the back of a a black pick-up truck.

The meter had been damage earlier as a result of being hit by a vehicle.

The truck was seen leaving the area heading east on Augusta Street. The pick-up truck had a black rack on the back with a light bar.

Police feel the “not so savvy thieves” will not be rewarded as there has been free parking downtown since the pandemic started at the end of March.
