What’s that stench? Foul-smelling crime scene leaves two men behind bars

Two men are facing several charges after it is alleged they were trespassing on private property while looking through parked cars early Monday morning in the Curtis Street area of Picton. 

However, the pair may also have had an odor to them. A portable toilet near a construction site was found tipped over. 

Charged with trespassing at night and mischief is Edward Banting, 21, of Belleville, while 19-year-old Drake Seed of Prince Edward County is facing the same charges, plus an additional count of mischief.

They’re to appear in front of the Ontario Court of Justice in Picton on April 21, 2021.

“The OPP would like to thank residents for remaining vigilant to suspicious activity within the community,” the OPP said in a press release on Monday, Mar. 15, 2021.
