CRIME: BREAK AND ENTER
DATE: January 13, 2018
RCMP FILE: 2018-2475
Lake Country RCMP were called on January 15th when residents discovered damage to a couple of locks on doors at a condo building located on the 10,000 block of Bottom Wood Lake Road. Video surveillance revealed two males and one female arriving in a dark coloured Mazda 3 hatchback and entering the condo during the wee hours of January 13th. A large male with a slight beard wearing a ball cap and a grey hoodie pulled up over his face jimmied the front door and let the other darker complexioned male who was wearing a touque pulled down to hide his face into the building. They then forced the lock to the door of the parkade in the basement allowing the female to drive through the garage door. They rummaged around the parkade for a while before leaving. It does not appear that anything was actually stolen.
