Break and enters reported
Port Hope Police are investigating two separate break and enters reported on the 9th and 12th of October. On the 9th a resident living in the down town area reported his lock back porch entered. The culprit(s) were not able to get into the residence and nothing was stolen.
On the 13th of October shortly before 10:00pm a resident living in the Hope Street/Molson Street were home when a female stranger entered the bedroom area. The resident thought it was a family member. Another family member went to investigate and located an unknown female in the kitchen. The female grabbed a grocery bag that had groceries in it and fled the resident. She was apprehending by a third resident who took the groceries back and told her to get off his property. Police searched the area but could not locate anyone. She is described as female 20’s dirty blonde hair wearing dark clothing. Police discovered evidence that the female was in the residence prior to the owners returning home with the groceries. Police are urging citizens to lock doors to their houses when they are out on trips even if it is a short one. There is nothing to suggest the two break and enters are connected. Anyone with information is asked to call Port Hope Police or crime stoppers.
