Chatham-Kent police look to the public for help in tracking down the culprits behind a couple of odd thefts recently.
That includes the theft of a washing machine. Sometime last night, someone stole a white coin-operated industrial-sized, front-loading washing mashing from the laundry room in the basement of an apartment building on Wallace Street in Wallaceburg.
The value of the machine is about $2,000, police say.
The thieves also damaged a second machine, to the tune of about $500, as they tried to get the coins out of it.
