Police Officer Charged in Wayne Gretzky Theft

According to multiple reports, one of the people charged in the Wayne Gretzky memorabilia theft raid has been identified as a 58-year-old June Dobson.

The police have been constructing a three-month investigation after numerous items disappeared from Walter Gretzky's house. 

According to TSN:

Staff Sgt. Carolle Dionne says Dobson was already on an unrelated paid leave of absence when the charges were announced Tuesday. Police in Brantford, Ont., announced that they arrested a 58-year-old Oakville, Ont., man and a 58-year-old Brockville, Ont., woman, but did not name them. The arrests came after an investigation following the theft of approximately US$500,000 worth of memorabilia from the home of Walter Gretzky.

Brantford police say that during the investigation they uncovered evidence of someone - unrelated to the theft - allegedly committing fraud involving a Gretzky hockey stick. Dobson is facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust. She was the detachment commander of the Grenville, Ont., OPP detachment. The as-yet unnamed Oakville man is charged with theft over $5,000 and possession over $5,000.

Protect and serve? Guess, not. Where's Marty McSorley when you need him?
