In Sarnia, police say their grocery cart crackdown is paying off. The initiative, launched in late ’24 to stop shopping cart theft and urban clutter, has led to two criminal charges so far. Local stores had reported losing up to $50,000 a year in missing carts. With the program, officers first educate and warn people before laying charges. More than 80 carts have now been recovered and returned to stores. Police say it’s helped clean up city streets and cut down on smaller crimes around Sarnia.
