South Bruce OPP are looking for three suspects and a pickup truck with front-end damage after a break-in at a rural property in Brockton.
Police were called about the incident at an address on Sideroad 20 North just before 10 a.m. on Saturday.

The suspect vehicle was last seen heading north toward Chesley.
Police did not specify whether the thieves made off with any property.
The investigation is ongoing.
