Port Hope police are investigating three recent reports of tools being stolen in the town.
In one incident, a resident on Freeman Drive reported his blacksmith tools were mistakenly left by the side of the road when he was loading his truck. The hoof-care tools, such as hoof-stones, hoof-nippers and a knife, were in a black bag.
“It is believed someone may have thought they were discarded,” police stated.
In another incident on Sept. 26, tools were reported stolen from a shed at a Brown Street residence. Two Makia drills in a bag were believed to have been removed from the shed overnight Sept. 25 to 26.
