HAMILTON – “Cat-astrophe averted,” Hamilton police tweeted Friday in announcing the arrest of a suspect in the theft of a transport trailer loaded with kitty litter.
Police say a man, driving a transport truck, broke into a compound in Hamilton on Feb. 17 and allegedly made off with the litter-laden trailer.
They say the truck was tracked to a gas station where the suspect entered the store and was caught on video.
