Two people are facing charges after an investigation into the theft of approximately $70,000 worth of construction equipment and materials in Strathroy-Caradoc. The Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service says the investigation began on Sept. 28 after officers received a report that construction equipment and materials had been stolen several days earlier. The case was later assigned to the force’s criminal investigation division. As a result of the investigation, police arrested a 48-year-old Thedford resident and a 28-year-old Lambton Shores resident. Both men have been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and trafficking in property obtained by crime. Police say several stolen items were recovered during the investigation, including a significant amount of copper wire. The accused are scheduled to appear in a London court in late December.
