Several vacant homes on Erie Shore Drive broken into over the weekend

LONDON, ONT. -- Talk about insult to injury.

Several homes on beleaguered Erie Shore Drive near Erieau were broken into over the weekend.

Chatham-Kent police say they were first notified Saturday.

Police say the crimes occurred over the past 48 hours.

Last month, the municipality forced homeowners out during a state of emergency after the dike gave out, flooding numerous houses.

Police continue to investigate the break and enters.
