BELLEVILLE – A safe containing valuables and a walker were stolen from an elderly Campbellford resident on Saturday.

The resident was at a Christmas church function when the break-in at her Cockburn Street home happened, according to Northumberland OPP.

A locked black Sentry safe holding cash and jewelry, as well as a red walker with a black leather tote on the handles, were stolen sometime between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.
