Robberies

 On Dec. 15, 2022, a vehicle was found beside one of our ELCA cottages.  When approached, an occupant said that he was just having a smoke.  When asked why he was here, he said he wanted to see if the lake was frozen on this side of the lake.  We later determined that he walked along the lake in front of a series of cottages before he left the area.  A well defined footprint is documented, as well as his licence number. 

     A person has been arrested involved in a series of Dysart robberies.  The following is from the internet.  The dates may not match up with this individual,  but still nice to know the police are servicing us well.

A joint search warrant in Dysart et al saw police recover an estimated $45,000 in stolen property.

Haliburton Highlands OPP and City of Kawartha Lakes OPP say they searched an address on Trapper’s Trail on Dec. 14, arresting a 37-year-old Dysart et al man.

Officials say it comes after an “extensive investigation” into a series of break and enters and thefts in October.

The suspect’s charges include breaking and entering, possession of a firearm, and multiple counts of possessing stolen goods. He was held in custody for a court date on Dec. 15.

Police are trying to identify the owners of the stolen property, and anyone with information is asked to call 705 286-1431, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
