contributes to it being blown out of proportion The researchers recom mended Criminal Codc amend ments that would have bur glar charged with an indictable offence only when there has been threat of physical injury or loss or damage of $200 or more Anything less should be cori sidered summary offence rc quiring restitution and fine to act as deterrent The researchers also said too much valuable police time is spent investigating minor bur glaries SSgt Robert Dougall of the Metro Toronto police crime prevention program said burglary is one of the easiest crimes to commit and one of the hardest to solve lle said it is easy for the thief because so many people dont take precautions to protect their homes Its hard to solve because often the only clues are the stolen goods and people can not give policemen adequate descriptions Eating restrictions set tor Orr Little Lake fish Seine fish taken from area lakes may have to be eaten in restricted quantities because of contamination
