Three Cadmus residents report items missing from vehicles, including a CB radio, car radio and four cartons of Brownie cookies. Thieves smashed their way into a utility shed at Spring Water Park, near Nestleton and made off with a box of tools valued at $500. A Seagrave resident reports theft of a water pump, pressure tank and tape measures from a storage shed behind the home. A Port Perry man told police tools valued at more than $400 were stolen from the back of his truck which was parked in the lot at a local plaza on Water Street. A violin and radio were reported stolen from a residence in Nestleton, and thieves attempted to break into a home in Blackstock but were not able to pry open a window. At Port Perry High School, a small amount of cash was reported missing following a break-in at the cafeteria. And early Sunday mor- ning, police officers on patrol through downtown Port Perry discovered a front window smashed at Home Hardware on Queen Street. A window at the rear of the store had also been smashed. Those responsible were . apparently frightened off and nothing was reported missing in the incident. Staff-Sgt. Doug Aird told the Star pelice have no single explanation why there appears to be such a rash of petty crime taking place in the area. "It might be that there are a lot of people, especially young people out of wor e days," he offered. He added that parked vehicles, homes, sheds and cottages in the rural areas seem to be popular targets. You are Invited to A WINE & CHEESE PARTY Come and Meet ROSS STEVENSON M.P.P.
