Pair arrested in hospital, church thefts

A good picture and a phone call has paid off for Hamilton police tracking two men they say stole a car from the hospital and later swiped cash from a Waterdown church.

The police BEAR (break and enter, auto theft and robbery) unit released surveillance pictures from Henderson Hospital cameras Wednesday morning.

Within hours of the pictures hitting the media, two men were identified on a tip and arrested at a home on Sherman Avenue.

Two Hamilton men, 38 and 30, have each been charged with two counts of breaking and entering and possession and theft of property over $5,000.
