OPP K-9 OFFICERS NABS TEENAGE TRESSPASSERS
Heyden, Ont.,

A teenage prank early this morning resulted in the two young offenders being tracked down by the O.P.P. K-9 Unit.

At about 2:00 a.m. today, a woman heard an unusual noise outside her house. When she looked outside she could see that tools and equipment that were left outside were gone. It was the homeowners impression that someone not known to her was trying to enter her home.

When O.P.P. officers arrived on the scene they saw two people running away. The police dog was called and tracked the two culprits down in the area.

Two sixteen and seventeen-year-old males have been charged with drinking under age contrary to the Liquor Licence Act and with Trespassing.
