Chatham-Kent Police are investigating after thieves targeted a local animal rescue group. 
Someone broke into an Edgar Street home earlier this morning, stealing a large amount of dog and cat food, along with pet supplies including leashes and collars.
The supplies were owned by the group Pet and Wildlife Rescue, which is set to take over the municipality’s animal control contract for Chatham and South Kent tomorrow.
As police search for the suspects, the rescue group is looking to restock its shelves.
If you’d like to donate pet food or supplies, contact Pat Ready at P.A.W.R. at pawrrescue@gmail.com or by visiting their website at www.pawr.org.
If anyone has information about the break and enter can contact Constable Mike Taylor at 519-436-6600 or miketa@chatham-kent.ca.
