Cranbrook RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the individual responsible for the theft of over $4,000 worth of Milwaukee tools during the early hours of July 20, in the 1200 block of 6^th Street North, Cranbrook.

Surveillance footage captured an individual in possession of the stolen tools at approximate 2:59 a.m. on the 20^th. The suspect was then seen heading toward the industrial area of town.

The Cranbrook RCMP thank the community for their ongoing support. The tips generated from a previous release have been followed up on and we encourage residents to continue to report suspicious activity.

Police are now asking businesses in the area of 6^th Street North and the surrounding industrial areas to review their surveillance footage from June 20 specifically the hours just before 2:30 a.m. to approximately 4 a.m. Investigators are particularly interested in any footage that may capture the suspect’s face and direction of travel.

“It’s easy to focus only on video that shows the crime itself,” said S/Sgt. Barry Graham. “But footage showing a suspect in the area before or after an incident can be just as importing in helping us identify them and gather the evidence needed to support criminal charges.”

Anyone with information, surveillance, or dash cam footage is asked to contact the Cranbrook RCMP detachment at 250-489-3471 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
