Break and enter, public’s assistance sought

North Bay Police are currently investigating a break and enter that occurred at a restaurant on Hammond Street shortly before 1 a.m. this morning.

Advice to businesses:
As North Bay Police continue to investigate a number of recent break-ins, businesses are advised to ensure that their premises are secure and that no cash is left behind in cash registers when businesses are closed. The posting of notices, such as “No cash left on premises overnight,” in store front windows is a wise business practice.
