Break & Enter

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

Sometime between Feb. 16 and Feb. 17, someone forced their way into a warehouse on York Street West.

Approximately $13,000 worth of equipment was stolen, which included a Lincoln Welder Ranger, Lincoln Welder Power Migs, Metabo grinders, a Fein grinder and a desktop computer.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Kelly McCormack at 519-436-6600 mailbox #85118 or kellymc@chatham-kent.ca. Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and may be eligible for a cash reward.

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.
