Inert grenade found after alleged bike thief stopped on University of Waterloo campus
Police have recovered an inert grenade after a man allegedly riding a stolen bicycle was stopped on the University of Waterloo (UW) campus on Tuesday morning. Police were called to the school around 6 a.m. after members of UW's Special Constable Service saw a man riding a bike on campus that had been reported stolen. The inert grenade was found when the constables were arresting the man, police said. According to Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS), an inert grenade is empty and doesn't contain explosive material. It can mimic a live grenade by producing a popping sound and it is used during training and demonstration purposes. When WRPS arrived on scene, the university sent a notice via texts and on their website to staff and students informing them that police were on campus for an active investigation. "The campus remains open," the notice had read in part. "If you're on campus, follow instructions from the authorities." Once police completed their investigation, they determined there were no public safety concerns. Staff and students were updated through UW's notification system letting them know that "the campus remains open for normal activities following the investigation." Police have charged a 36-year-old man from Cambridge with: Possession of stolen goods under $5,000 (two counts). Possession of identity documents. Possession of break and enter tools. Anyone with information is being asked to call police.

Owner 'distraught' as Shetland pony foal stolen
Police are appealing for information to help safely return a two-month-old Shetland which was stolen from the Truro area last week. Lucy, a female chestnut skewbald Shetland pony, was taken between 11 and 12 July from farmland near Allet. PC Lucy Wyatt, Devon and Cornwall Police's equine crime lead, said Lucy's owner was "understandably distraught". "At this age, foals are reliant on their mother's milk and we are fearing for Lucy's safety," she said. PC Wyatt said the force wanted to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or vehicles in the area. "At her age and size, it is possible that Lucy could fit in a vehicle," she said. "We don't have any more information at this time about the time or date that Lucy was taken but it would have required someone to enter the field and take hold of Lucy before removing her." Anyone with information should contact police, she said. "Equally, if you have Lucy, please bring her home."
