Chatham-Kent police are looking for information regarding a break and enter in Ridgetown.

Skipped court date
Last night at approximately 11 p.m., police responded to a suspicious person at a local business in Chatham.
Police located the man and learned there was an outstanding warrant for him.
A 40-year-old Chatham man was arrested for failing to attend court. He was transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.
Clear you’re Windshield
Chatham-Kent police remind drivers to clear their windshields of ice and snow.
The most important function of your windshield is to allow you to navigate safely. Remember, that operating a vehicle with a snow-covered windshield is not only dangerous, but against the law.
During the winter months, make sure you have a snowbrush and ice scraper in your vehicle.
Motorists in a hurry often only clear the windshield; police urge you to take the extra time to clear all windows of your vehicle.
It is an offence to drive with an obstructed view. Having no clear view to the front, sides or rear of your vehicle may result in a $110 fine.
