Two Lambton Shores residents are facing charges following a massive bust involving tens of thousands of dollars in stolen construction gear.
The Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service (SCPS) launched an investigation in late September after receiving a report that approximately $70,000 worth of construction materials and equipment had been stolen.
The probe was taken over by the Criminal Investigation Division, leading to the arrest of a 48-year-old and a 28-year-old.
Officers recovered a significant portion of the stolen property, including a large haul of valuable copper wire.
Both individuals were charged with possession and trafficking of property obtained by crime and are scheduled to make their first court appearance in London late next month.
Police are continuing their investigation.
Anyone with information is urged to reach out to SCPS at 519-245-1250.
