In August 2024, the Killaloe Detachment of the OPP recovered several abandoned items believed to be stolen.
On August 13, officers patrolling Highway 60 in South Algonquin Township discovered a battery-powered chainsaw, a subwoofer, an orange flag, a hard hat, a car battery, and assorted hand tools. The next day, additional items were found on Mask Island Drive in Madawaska Valley Township, including a drone with a case, another orange flag, a youth life jacket, a grease gun, and more hand tools.
Despite efforts to locate the owners, the police have not yet succeeded. The OPP is urging victims of property crimes to contact them at 613-757-2300 if they believe any of the recovered items belong to them.
To aid in the verification of ownership, the OPP advises victims to provide documentation such as serial numbers, receipts, and any other relevant evidence. This initiative highlights the police’s commitment to community support and the return of stolen property.
