Osoyoos Home Hardware was broken into shortly after 5 am Tuesday. A lone male gained access by throwing a rock through the front door, shattering the glass. The thief quickly made his way to the front counter, stealing donation boxes for local charities, including the Osoyoos Fireworks fund. In a brazen act, the male stopped to steal some chocolates from the adjacent counter before exiting the store.
“What can I say about it?” said store owner Frances Sologuk. “Even thieves can’t resist Roger’s Chocolates.” Sologuk commended the work of her glass installation company for their excellent service. “My glass was replaced by 6 am,” she said.
