A Mitchell resident had a rude awakening Friday night.

OPP officers were called to a home on Henry Street that night, where the owner had been woken by the sound of someone opening the fridge.

The owner yelled down the stairs, causing the intruder to run off.  Police tried to track the suspect with the canine unit, but were unsuccessful. 

Officers found the intruder had gotten in through an unlocked attached garage door.

The Perth County OPP is continuing their investigation into this incident.

Drug Drop-Off Day was a big success.

Drop-off points for unwanted medications had been set up Saturday afternoon at the OPP detachments in Sebringville and Listowel.

A large number of people took advantage of the opportunity and nearly 41 pounds of drugs were collected.

The collected medication will now be safely disposed of and will not fall into the wrong hands.

The OPP wants to thank everyone who participated in the event and made it so successful.
