A 42-year-old Cobourg man is facing charges after an alleged theft report involving about $10,000 worth of tools.
The Cobourg Police Service said police launched an investigation on July 23, 2025, following a break-and-enter report in the Orr and Durham streets area between July 20 and 23.
The complainant reported that an unknown person smashed a window to gain access to a residence and about $10,000 worth of tools was allegedly stolen, said police.
On July 24, police said a man in the Division Street was allegedly found with some of the stolen property.
As a result of the investigation, police said a 42-year-old Cobourg man was arrested and charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and failing to comply with a probation order.
None of these charges have been proven in court.
Police said their investigation remains ongoing and are asking anyone with information to reach out to the service at 905-372-6821. Alternatively, Crime Stoppers is an anonymous option online or by calling 1-800-8477, where tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward.
