Smashed back window passanger side to get bag
It was clear to a few of us last night after seeing the car this 40 year old who paid the ultimate price for something he wanted in the back seat of a car parked on perth avenue. The owner or owners of this car did not heed the police warning about not leaving any personal belongings in vehicles. A few of us took a walk around the neighbourhood only to see a car with the back passenger side window that was smashed only to see a bag still in the back seat. Though people should not touch what is not theirs, however criminals don't always think that way. Sad
Police At Wallace Church Too
It appears people related to this incident have a car parked at the former Wallace and Perth Church and some people have said that a person may have tried to break into the church. My neighbours seem to know some of the people involved and the corner is taped off right now.
