It may be the season for frozen pipes -- but there may be an even uglier pipe-related issue lurking around town; The pipe thief.
Police caught a man cutting copper pipe out of the basement of a home in the area of Lang Street and Reid Avenue South in the east end.
Officers were tipped off early yesterday morning by a neighbour who called 911, reporting noises inside a nearby unit.
36-year-old Peter Banks is charged with break and enter and possession under 5-thousand dollars.
