Clean Getaway

Heyden, Ont.,

Sault Ste Marie OPP were called to a trailer home on Kim Drive in Heyden yesterday after bathroom fixtures were stolen

Most of the details are still a little sketchy on this one but so far police have been told some time over the past two weeks that the bathroom tub, sink and tub surround were stolen from the trailer home. With lots more investigating to be done on this one, police are hoping that a logical explanation or a lack of communication may be responsible as opposed to finding out that someone actually stole the tub, sink and walls and have made a “CLEAN GETAWAY”!
