NEW: Police searching for tankless water heaters stolen from homes before Orleans explosion ottnews
Some of the debris following an explosion at an east Ottawa construction site on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023.
Ottawa police are trying to locate two tankless water heaters that were stolen from homes involved in the Orléans explosion last month. The Feb. 13 explosion destroyed four homes under construction on Blossom Pass Terrace and damaged several others in the neighbourhood. On Friday, police issued an appeal for help locating the water heaters, saying there is a possibility they were damaged during a theft before the explosion and may not be functioning properly, "thus causing a danger to the occupants of the dwellings they have been installed in".
"The Ottawa Police Service believes that the person in possession of these appliances may not know that they are considered stolen," police said in a statement. "In these circumstances, the Ottawa Police Service will not be pursuing any criminal charges relating to their possession.
