RCMP are asking for the public’s help in solving a weekend theft which happened in the RM of Reford just east of Wilkie.

The break and enter occurred on Friday night when a home owner returned home to find that the front door had been forced open, several areas of the house and garage had been rummaged through and several items had been taken.

A rifle was stolen from inside the residence, along with a jewellery box containing a wedding ring. The suspects also stole a large amount of alcohol and emptied out equipment from a hockey bag and then stole the hockey bag.

A small bag containing what is suspected to be methamphetamines was dropped by the one of suspects while they were inside the residence and was seized by police.

RCMP reminds the public that if you are going to be away from your residence for any period of time; it is a good idea to leave some lights on so that your house appears occupied.
