There's some clothing theft going on around town.
People have been climbing into the Canadian Diabetes Association donation bins to steal clothes.
John Tomlinson picks up the donated clothes and he says that they're making a mess of the community as a whole.
"It looks bad on the City of Dauphin, it's an eye sore," said Tomlinson. "You'll see wet and dirty clothes just scattered around the bins, it doesn't look good for the community."
The clothes collected from those bins are then sold to thrift stores in order to collect money for diabetes research. Most of the thefts are happening overnight and it's believed between 1 and 4 a.m. Tomlinson says the RCMP is doing what they can; however, it is hard to place officers at the bins so late at night.
He asks that if you see someone in action stealing clothes or making a mess, that you call the RCMP. If you would like to donate clothing but aren't comfortable doing so in the bins, you can contact John and he will arrange a time to pick them up at your home. He can be reached at 648-4145.
