The Orillia OPP say they were called on January 29th, 2023 to a local Orillia church.
An unidentified male had entered the church, located and removed items not belonging to him belonging to three female choir members. Upon fleeing the scene, the male entered a vehicle that was not his and attempted to start the vehicle with a set of keys that were removed from the church.
