COE HILL — Bancroft OPP were investigating what appear to be two break-ins at stores in Coe Hill overnight Monday-Tuesday. The Red Eagle campground store on Wollaston Lake Road and the Coe Hill Country Market on old Hwy 620 appear to have been the targets. Cash and cigarettes are missing from the Red Eagle store. Bancroft OPP have released no information about why officers were around the village this week. Signs offering a $500 reward for information about the Red Eagle break-in are posted in Coe Hill, with a contact number of 613-337-5587.
