OPP say the kittens were found in the bin next to a business on John Street by a passerby around 7 p.m. on Monday.

The passerby reportedly heard the sound of kittens crying and was able to pull two kittens out of a bucket of water and three others from inside the bin. One of the kittens in the bucket of water was deceased.

OPP say they are investigating the incident as a case of cruelty to animals.

The kittens have been relocated to a rescue organization.
