 POLICE LOOKING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE

 

(Caledonia, ON)  The Ontario Provincial Police, Haldimand County Detachment is investigating three separate recycling bin fires that took place at different schools in Caledonia, Haldimand County.

 

Last weekend, on April 25th, Haldimand County Fire Department responded to a fire at St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Caledonia. At the time, the recycling bin was half full as the school is fundraising and newspapers from various community sources were donated with the intention of being recycled.  A similar fire took place around the same time at Caledonia Centennial School.  Newspapers in the recycling bin were removed and set on fire behind the school while a dance was in progress.  The following day, Saturday April 26, the recycling bin at Caledonia Centennial was actually set on fire. 

 

These fires were set between the hours of 8:00pm10:00pm last Friday and Saturday nights.   A group of teenagers approximately 7-8, were observed running from one of the fires at the rear of Centennial Public School on the Friday night.

 

Not only is this costly due to emergency response and the refurbishing of these bins but the tremendous efforts put forth by the schools to fundraise and recycle is something much more valuable than a monetary value.  If these recycling bins have to be removed, it will jeopardize all fundraising and recycling projects for these schools.

 

If you observed suspicious behaviour or persons at these schools or have any information who the culprits may be, please call CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.helpsolvecrime.com
