Kingston police are dealing with unusual instances of theft from one of the city’s historic landmarks.
According to police, 18 plants have been stolen from the grounds of Belleville House over the last two weeks.
Sometime between the late afternoon on Sept. 26 and the early morning of Sept. 30, police say the thieves made off with numerous plants from the historical site valued at approximately $900.
Over the last few months, police say plants and planter boxes have also been stolen from people’s homes on Centre Street, Willingdon Avenue and Alwington Place.
Planter boxes have been taken right off the front steps of people’s homes, and in some cases, the thief or thieves have even pulled plants straight from the ground, police say.
Police ask anyone with information about the investigation to contact them.
