CRIME: COMMERCIAL BREAK AND ENTER

DATE: February 17, 2015

RCMP FILE: 2015-7424

At 4:16 a.m. on February 17th police responded to an alarm at Antler Creek Outfitters located at 1767 Ross Road. Upon viewing video surveillance it was determined that the store was entered when two men smashed the front glass door with a sledgehammer and then used bolt cutters to remove the lock on the inner metal gate. The suspects were most likely after weapons but were foiled as the guns are locked up. After smashing several display cases with the sledgehammer, they left in an older white four door sedan with optics, range finders and bear spray.
