Crime of the Week December 2-9, 2012

On October 25, 2012, highways, roads, homes, and businesses were destroyed in the flood that devastated the Municipality of Wawa and surrounding area.

In the weeks to follow, this Northern Ontario community pulled together with the aid and generosity of many people from all around the world.

While most are still hard at work to re-build this community, sometime between November 4 and November 12, 2012, Wawa Ontario Provincial Police responded to a break and enter to the Wawa Baptist Church located in Michipicoten River Village.

Entry to the Church was gained through a rear door.

Suspects made their way through the entire building causing extensive damage to the inside.

The upper level floor had several meeting rooms. 

Glass and ceramic items were smashed on the kitchen floor, in the hallways, and inside the ladies washroom.  

There were multiple areas where several fluorescent light bulbs were smashed. 

Tables and chairs were flipped over and damaged; a gallon jug of liquid dish washer detergent had been emptied onto the carpet area.

The lower level consisted of similar damage which included multiple fluorescent light bulbs smashed on the floor. 

The lower area of the Church, including the children’s area was coated with a yellow dust material consistent with a fire extinguisher being discharged.
