Huron County OPP have laid charges in a 2023 case involving the reported theft of 45,000 chicks from a South Huron farm.
Initially, 30,000 chicks were believed to have been stolen overnight on April 19–20, 2023, but that figure was later revised. The loss was valued at over $139,000.
Following a lengthy investigation, police charged a 41-year-old from South Huron with fraud over $5,000 and public mischief. They were arrested May 6, 2025 and released with a court date in Goderich set for May 26.
