RELEASE: 07MAY2008 SOMETIMES WE
FEEL LIKE A BROKEN RECORD On An 18 year old South Huron male, Kyle Greer, has been
charged with Theft Under $5000.00 from Motor Vehicles and Breach Probation.
He will appear in Some of the property has been recovered, but much is still
scattered in bushes and yards. Anyone finding property in their yard is asked
to contact the Huron OPP so we can try to return it to the owner. These occurrences were totally preventable however. An
officer was occupied for an entire shift fielding the calls of vehicle
entries and found property. The reality of life is that we must begin to take
responsibility for our property. It’s unfortunate that we don’t
live in a time when we can leave our house unlocked, our vehicles unlocked
and our bicycles out on the front lawn without fear of anything being
taken. I’m certain that all citizens would prefer to see their
local officers doing more proactive police work rather than reacting after we
have failed to take minimal precautions. In a similar incident, a purse was stolen from the
passenger seat of a locked vehicle on The suspect in the smash and grab, that occurred in front
of the Jewellery Box on The bottom line is lock your home, lock your vehicle,
don’t leave it running while going into Tim Horton’s or Macs
Milk, put away bikes and lock them up and don’t leave items of value
inside your car in plain view to tempt a thief. If you take the necessary
precautions and still fall victim of a criminal act, at least you can tell
the police that you did everything in your power to prevent it from
happening. THEFT OF

hrs UPDATED BUCKLE UP
CHALLENGE HITS HURON SECONDARY SCHOOLS Since 1976, when seatbelt legislation was first introduced
in Wearing your seatbelt is the single most effective thing
you can do to protect yourself and others in a motor vehicle collision.
Seatbelts are designed to spread the impact forces of a crash along the
stronger and broader areas of the body, such as hips and shoulders thereby
limiting injuries. Seatbelts also prevent you from being ejected from the
vehicle or thrown around inside the vehicle. Wearing your seatbelt will also
protect your head and spinal cord and can keep you from being knocked
unconscious, improving your chances of escape. The Huron OPP along with the five secondary schools in the
county will be participating in a “Buckle Up” competition this
week. The event is a fun challenge designed to show students how quick and
easy it is to buckle up when entering a vehicle. In teams of four, students
and faculty will compete to see which team can buckle up and unbuckle and
rotate through four positions in a car the speediest. The fastest team wins!! ‘The co-operators’ is sponsoring prizes for
the winning teams at each school. Employees will be on hand for each event to
personally hand out bags of goodies. Vehicles used in the competition were
sponsored by Huron Motor Products in Exeter, McLaughlin Chevrolet Oldsmobile
in Seaforth, McGee Motors Ltd. in Goderich and John Cullen Chevrolet Ltd. in Wingham. Many thanks to all involved for their
willingness to participate and assist. Members of the local media are invited to attend any of
the scheduled events. Tuesday, May 6 1300 hours
