On Monday May 30th, 2016, the Quinte West OPP entered into an investigation involving a theft of several lawn ornaments.
One of the victims of this theft alerted police when one of the stolen lawn ornaments was observed at a residence on Front Street in Trenton. Police investigation revealed that the thefts occurred sometime between May 20th and May 22nd, from three separate homes in the east end of Trenton, and that all of the stolen items had been sold locally.
