Over $1,600 Worth of Pressure Treated Wood Stolen from Niagara Riverside Resort

Niagara Falls Police responded to the Niagara Riverside Resort on the 7000 block of Buffalo Avenue around 10am on August 23rd after reports of a larceny.

Upon arrival, police spoke to the owner of a roofing company who wanted to report a pallet of wood that was stolen overnight. He explained that his roofing company was contracted to put a new roof on the hotel, so he has a lot of roofing products in the hotel lot.

He and his work crew left the site the prior night and was aware that a pallet of wood was left unsecured, adjacent to the hotel. When he returned this morning at 7:30am, he noticed the pallet was gone. The pallet contained 2in x 6in x 10ft of pressure treated lumber and valued it at $1,617.

Officers poke to hotel employees and requested to view the surveillance footage. However, the footage required a security password which none of the employees working had. A security employee was to contact police the following day to make the security footage available. No further information is available at this time.
