Thieves used a metal coat hanger to access a car parked in the driveway of a home on Mariposa Court in the Hall Road area just after midnight on May 17th.  They used the garage door opener from the car to open the garage door.  The suspects grabbed a purse from the kitchen by accessing the unlocked interior door before they left the area, also taking a 21 speed  blue and white Giant Iguana bike and a 2014 Norco Range 7.1.  The purse was later recovered near Gordon Drive and Bernard Avenue.  One of the credit cards was used at a convenience store on Springfield Road.  RCMP members hope someone can identify this person of interest to help solve the file.
