Crime spree in valley Nov. 9
Columbia Valley RCMP is investigating a crime spree that occurred in the early morning hours of November 9, between Radium Hot Springs and Fairmont Hot Springs.
Three businesses in the area were targeted, reported S/Sgt. Marko Shehovac.
At 2:04 a.m. police received a report of a break and enter at the Radium Parks Visitor Centre on East Main Road in Radium Hot Springs. A glass door was shattered and a TV was stolen.
At 5:30 a.m., police were called to an alarm at the Gas Plus gas station in Fairmont Hot Springs. A glass door was shattered that was connected to the Subway portion of the gas station. Due to the alarm going off it is believed entry to the store was not gained.
At 7:11 a.m., Columbia Valley Detachment officers responded to a break and enter at the Invermere Subway. Entry was gained like the other incidents, via the glass window being shattered. A small amount of cash was stolen along with a lap top computer.
“At the same time police were called to Home Renovations Centre where the glass to the main door was shattered. A number of electronic equipment items were stolen. All of the above break and enters and attempts are believed to have been done by the same person,” Shehovac reported.
Anyone with information on any of the above break and enters is requested to contact the Columbia Valley RCMP Detachment at 250-342-9292.
