OPP Remind Anglers to Lock Up Ice Fishing Huts

Ontario Provincial Police are asking for public help as they continue investigating multiple break-and-enters to fishing huts in Chapleau.

Superior East OPP say there's been a recent rise in such incidents in the Chapleau area, with multiple huts damaged and items stolen including expensive tools and fishing equipment.

Police are reminding anglers to secure their huts and remove all valuables if left unattended, and - if you discover a break-in - contact police immediately and do not enter the property as it may disturb valuable evidence.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
