Members of the Peterborough County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to a North Kawartha address to investigate a Break and Enter which resulted in one person being charged.
On Saturday March 15, 2025, members of the Peterborough County OPP received a call from a property owner regarding a break and enter that occurred at a residence in North Kawartha Township. The complainant advised that the residence belonged to a family member who has since passed away and is currently unoccupied.
