On Saturday, October 14, 2023, police attended a residence in the area of Carroll Crescent and East House Crescent in Cobourg after receiving a report of theft.

The homeowner later located and retrieved some of the items nearby. A subsequent police investigation identified the suspect, who was located and arrested. The property recovery by police was returned to the homeowner.
As a result, a 28-year-old Cobourg man was charged with theft under $ 5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.
The accused was released on an undertaking with a future court date.
