Ontario Provincial Police are investigating following a report of a break and enter where a $20,000 propeller was allegedly stolen.

The Leamington Detachment received a report on September 9 of a break-in at a business on Milo Road in Leamington.

OPP state it was determined that multiple individuals entered the fenced in property on September 5 between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. on September 6.
