07-31-2015 - Revelstoke RCMP is
currently investigating two Break and Enters that occurred on Friday July 31,
2015 at approximately 11:15pm.
Culprits broke into both
the Rona Building Supply store and the Revelstoke Bottle Depot which are
located on Cartier Street in Revelstoke, BC.
The culprits gained
access the Bottle Depot and once inside stole approximately thirty-dollars in
cash.
The culprits then gained
access to the Building Supply store by cutting a hole in the perimeter fence
and, once inside the compound, smashed a large window, providing
them access inside the store.
The culprits ransacked
the building and located and broke into a safe.
They stole an undetermined amount of cash and then stole several tools
which included the Makita brand power tools.
Culprits tampered with
the video surveillance system an extracted the hard drive computer, causing
damage to it. However, RCMP Forensic
Identification Services attended and managed to obtain digital images of the
culprits as well as seized additional evidence.
The culprits are
believed to have fled the scene in an unknown vehicle.
One culprit is described
as a Caucasian adult male wearing shorts, gloves, a dark hoodie with a white
shirt underneath, running shoes, a blue cap and white glasses.
The other culprit is a
Caucasian adult female wearing a light blue hoodie with dark ‘knicker’ style
pants, gloves and shoes.
There was no signs of
damage to the Bottle Depot, however there was extensive damage to the Building
Supply store and, combined with the theft of many power tools, is estimated in
the thousands of dollars.
