A collection of Canadian banknotes and coins was stolen from a home in a mid-day break and enter this April.
Officers with the Sarnia Police Service (SNS) responded to a break and enter at a home in the 300 block of Fanshawe Drive on April 27.

The suspect – or suspects – made off with old Canadian currency, including silver dollars; 50-cent coins; $5, $2 and $1 banknotes; plus “very old … unique and rare” Newfoundland banknotes of various denominations.
Gold jewellery was also stolen.
