Stolen combine header recovered in Melancthon

Grey Bruce OPP have recovered a stolen combine header, thanks to a tip from the public.

On February 10, police responded to a report of a stolen Case International Combine "header" in the Township of Southgate.

Though a 40-year-old from Melancthon was charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, and failure to apply for permit on becoming an owner, the combine wasn't recovered.

It was valued at over $20,000.

Then on Monday, Grey Bruce OPP and the Dufferin County Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) received a tip from the public that the combine was at a business on 260 Sideroad in Melancthon.

The combine was seized and returned to its owner.
