KEMPTVILLE – Thieves made off with cigarettes after an early morning theft from a gas bar on County Road 43.
Grenville County O.P.P. say the MacEwen Petroleum station was broken into around 3:30 a.m. yesterday (April 13).
A van stolen from the Branch Restaurant on Clothier Street in Kemptville was found at the Park n’ Ride on Highway 416 and County Road 19.
