Thieves walked away with more than $150,000 in gold, silver and cash from a West Kelowna storage locker.

The break-in occurred sometime Nov.10, when an alarm at the rental facility was tripped.

However, the owner of the unit was unable to get to the unit right away. Police were finally called two days later.

Missing are thousands of ounces of precious metals, cash and a rare sculpture.

“Police have learned that over 5,000 ounces of silver and gold, in various forms including coins and bars, along with cash and a rare acrylic sculpture titled Eye of the Flame, was taken from within the storage unit,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.

“Our complainant was understandably distraught over the theft, which totalled in excess of $150,000 in loss.”
