In the middle of the night, an alert resident of an Easthill neighbourhood contacted police to report a suspicious man pushing a wheel barrow down a residential street. On Friday October 6th, 2023 at 1:15 am, frontline officers responded to the area quickly locating the individual and the wheel barrow in question. To their surprise, the wheel barrow was overflowing with tools and other items. Believing the property to the stolen, police arrested the man and seized the property which include a canopy, a Craftsman air compressor, a Craftsman tool box and a wheelbarrow.
