A break and enter at the IRIS eye care clinic in Cornerstone was reported at 12:40 a.m. on May 2.
“Sunglasses were stolen. I don't have a dollar value, but it was significant,” said Const. Colleen von Krogh, Olds RCMP detachment.

“However, they found the trail and lost it,” said von Krogh.
The matter is still under investigation.
