Durham Regional Police were called to the usually quiet community after homes on several streets were victimized by at least two people. Homes on Cragg Rd. Lansen Dr. and Hwy. 12 had 911 address signs removed, items stolen, and in one case, a well cap was removed and smashed. Police say that items such as lawn chairs, ornaments, a child's basketball net and family name signs were removed and taken to the lawn of a church in the village, where they were left. A pop machine at a local store was also turned over. Police were still receiving reports of missing property and damage as of Monday morning, and are determined to catch the culprits. "This was more than one person," said Staff Sgt. Dietmar Schoenrock, of 26 Division in Port Perry. "We believe this is the work of local people, and we want the public's help in this matter. Someone saw these individu- als on the streets about midnight, and we would like to hear from them." Anyone with information on this crime can call 26 Division at 905-579-1520, ext. 2672. Persons wishing to remain anony- mous can receive cash rewards by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. You need not give your name to receive cash awards.
