Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Chatham-Kent police say two people have been charged following a theft investigation involving a construction trailer.
Police said the incident occurred between 5 p.m. on April 21, 2026 and 2 p.m. on April 22, 2026, when suspects entered a locked construction trailer on Lacroix Street in Chatham and removed approximately $4,000 worth of Dewalt tools.

They were transported to police headquarters and later released with conditions and a future court date of July 30, 2026.
