The Grey-Bruce Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police has received a report of a break-in to a seasonal residence in the Township of Chatsworth.

Sometime between December 16, 2018, and May 5, 2019, the culprits forcibly entered a seasonal residence located on Concession 2. The residence was ransacked and a kayak, along with two canoes, were stolen.
