Page 10, News, Tuesday, September 18, 1990 Crimestoppers Crime of the Week Highway construction is sometimes very disruptive to our travelling; however, it is some- thing we have to live with for obvious reasons. Bridge repairs were being done on the Little Pic River locat- ed 30 kilometres west of Marathon along Highway 17, which required two generators to operate caution lights. These lights warned oncoming motorists that there was construction ahead and to use care when crossing the bridge. The two generators, one on either side of the bridge, were stolen between 9:00 p.m., the 25th of April and 6:00 a.m., the 26th of April. The thieves cut heavy chains to free the genera- tors which were chained to con- crete blocks. This theft made a hazardous situation even more dangerous. The generators were described as a Honda model CJ 0183 and a Polyquip model PGX 3400D. The possibility exists that these generators were stolen to 3 > Corns?

The Board will also pay for the recovery of one or both of the generators. The money is handed out through a code number system. Others in Marathon have taken advantage of the cash offer.
