Police investigating theft after Subway break-in
Elk Valley RCMP is investigating after a break-in and theft at the Fernie Subway the evening of Nov. 6.
Police attended to a report of a break and enter at the Fernie Subway Restaurant located at 441 Crowsnest Highway in Fernie at approximately 6:20 a.m. today.
The complainant reported coming to the business in the morning to open and finding the front door smashed in and some items missing, including the business safe.
“Officers arrived on scene and cleared the business. It appears that, after entry was gained, the unknown suspects headed directly to the register and safe and removed them,” reported S/Sgt. Svend Nielsen, Elk Valley RCMP Detachment commander.
“A review of the security cameras noted that the suspects entered the business at 9:35 p.m. on November 6, and went directly to the location of the register and safe. Thus far, no additional witnesses or suspects are known to police.
“It is highly probable given the time the break and enter occurred that there are witnesses who saw something suspicious at that location, the SW corner of Fifth Street and Highway 3 at Canada’s Best Value Inn and Suites,” he added.
Elk Valley Regional RCMP seeks the public’s assistance in seeing if anyone saw anything suspicious around the Fernie Subway on the night of November 6 between the hours of 9 and 10 p.m.

“Once still shots are developed from the security video, some may be forwarded for public review if it is considered of value to the investigation. Our investigation is ongoing,” S/Sgt. Nielsen said.
