On Saturday, October 11th, 2025, an off-duty Port Hope Police officer observed three females at the Port Hope Dollarama matching the description of suspects wanted in connection with a previous theft from another Port Hope business. The officer notified on-duty members, reporting that the suspects left in a minivan, travelling east toward Cobourg.
Officers located the vehicle parked at the Northumberland Mall in Cobourg. The suspects were seen exiting the Cobourg Dollarama and entering the van. Police conducted a stop and detained the three females in connection with the investigation.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a large quantity of stolen items, including Tylenol, Advil, lighters, chocolate bars, gum, and household goods, with a total estimated value of $7,021.

Three women, aged 47, 32, and 27, all from Toronto, were charged with:
Theft Over $5,000
