RCMP FILE:  2017-10560

An alarm sounded at a location under construction on the 14,000 block of Moberley Road in Lake Country just after midnight on March 4th  when the garage was entered.   When the owner attended the residence he found his grey 2004 Polaris Sportsman ATV was missing from the garage.  Thieves gained entry to the garage via scaffolding that was on the property.  They went through the garage roof vent then broke through the ceiling drywall.  The suspects removed a snowplow from the ATV before driving it out of the garage, off the property and to a waiting truck.  The doors to the main house were also tampered with but no access was gained.  The ATV has license # 3C3275 and VIN 4XACH8A44A320614.
