Just before 4:00 am, police and fire emergency crews were dispatched to a working fire at 23 Hampton Crescent. Fortunately, no one was injured due to the fire as no one was home at the time. The fire caused $1.1 million worth of damage. It is believed that the fire was started in the furnace area of the home.
Shoplifting Reminder
Shoplifting is an expensive crime everyone pays for. Stores pass on the costs of guards, closed-circuit televisions, special tags that can't be removed from clothing, and other security devices to their customers in higher prices. A big department store can spend millions a year on security.
Because shoplifting keeps increasing, major chain stores in shopping malls now prosecute all shoplifters except very young children.
When salespeople or security officers catch shoplifters, they arrest the shoplifter and the police are called. Children and teenagers may be released to their parent's custody if it is a first offense.
If you get caught shoplifting you will have a police record that may hurt your chances for getting a job.
Remember - stealing from a store is a crime. It's the same as stealing a bike, money from a wallet, or a CD player from a locker. Have the courage to help your friends say no.
