RCMP probe rural break-ins
Innisfail Mounties are probing a pair of rural break-ins that resulted in the thefts of a car, a truck and two safes.
Shortly after noon hour on Dec. 11, RCMP responded to a break and enter at a residence along the C & E Trail in Red Deer County.
Innisfail RCMP Sgt. Lori Eiler said residents of the home were away on vacation and a friend was looking after the house. She said the friend drove by to check on the house and discovered it had been broken into, as well as the Quonset. Eiler said a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta was taken from the Quonset.
She said two safes were also stolen but recovered a few days after. The safes were found empty and had been cut open.
Four days later on Dec. 15 Innisfail RCMP were called to respond to a break and enter in progress in the rural area east of Innisfail on a property near Pine Lake.
Eiler said two unknown males broke into a shop on the property and stole a large amount of equipment, which they loaded into the victim's truck. She said the culprits opened the shop door and fled, stealing all the items including the truck, which is described as a red 2006 Dodge RAM.
She said the culprits also stole a power generator, pressure washer, chainsaw, tools and other miscellaneous items.
The two unknown males were driving a red Ford F-350 with a water tank on the back. Eiler said they also attempted to fill the tank with diesel when their efforts were interrupted by the homeowner who chased them away.
The investigation into both break and enters is continuing.
If any citizen has information about either of these break-ins he or she is asked to call the Innisfail RCMP at 403-227-3342 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or through the Internet at www.tipsubmit.com
