Ontario Provincial Police are investigating multiple break-and-enters to fishing huts in Chapleau.
Superior East OPP say officers responded on Tuesday to a report of a break-in to a fishing hut on the Chapleau River - believed to have happened the previous night - and - once they arrived - it was discovered that other huts had also been broken into.
Investigators are currently attempting to contact hut owners to confirm the number of huts that were broken into and any items taken, though they do note that a propane heater, fishing rods, tools including an axe, chairs, and camping equipment were taken, prompting a warning not to leave anything in an ice hut that you aren't willing to lose.
This is not the first time break-ins have been reported at ice fishing huts in the region, with similar incidents in past years.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
