Police were investigating the theft of a Case International combine ‘header’ that went missing on February 10 in Southgate, just west of Shelburne.

After locating the stolen farm machinery, they returned it to the owner.

A 40-year-old Melancthon man was charged with possessing property obtained by crime over $5,000, operating a motor vehicle without insurance and failing to get a permit.
