BREAK AND ENTERS
On Nov. 4 or 5 thieves broke a window in a rear door to a home in the 400 block of Second Avenue E in North Bay. The thieves then gained entry and stole sterling silver knives, two desk lamps, a Rogers AT & T silver coloured phone, 24 spoons, a Minolta camera with attachments, rolled quarters and pennies.

On Nov. 5 between 8 AM and 5:15 PM thieves forced their way into a residence in the 700 block of Worthington Street E. Once inside they ransacked
the home. They stole a JVC DVD/VCR combo player, a Nintendo game cube with controller and memory card, a Kodak digital camera dx6340 and 24 various CDs. The value is over $1,000.

On Nov. 5 between 11 AM and 1:45 PM thieves entered a home in the 1200 block of Franklin Street. Entry was gained via an unlocked bedroom window in the upper part of the house. The thieves stole cash and other articles.

It is possible that the suspects were a male and female who had attended next door and asked for an unknown person.
Suspects: 1-male white, 5'9, medium build and wearing a navy blue hooded sweater.

2- female white, 18-20 years, 5'3 slim, shoulder length hair and wearing a pink top and beige jacket.

During the weekend of Nov. 5 and 6, windows in a home in the 100 block of Tweesmuir Drive were broken. Then, entry was gained and the home was
ransacked. It is uncertain what was taken at the time of report because of so many articles being strewn about.

Anyone with information on this crime or any other is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 476-8477.
