Break and enter at liquor store

A break and enter at Mountain View Liquor & Beer in Didsbury January 12 caused extensive damage to the storefront.

“Around 12:15 a.m., we received a report of a break and enter,” said Sgt. Jeff Jacobson, detachment commander with the Didsbury RCMP.

When officers arrived at the store, they determined that there was a vehicle stolen out of Chestermere that had been used to ram the front window, knocking it in.

“There were bars on the window that were damaged, as well,” said Sgt. Jacobson. “The culprits were then able to enter the business and they stole a large quantity of alcohol.”

There was no cash taken, he added.

“We determined there was a second vehicle involved, in which the individuals departed the scene,” he said. “It appeared to be a white truck. We don’t know the direction in which it departed.”

He noted that early indications are that there were three males who had entered the store, wearing high-visibility work vests.

“There are no witnesses and we are continuing to follow up leads,” Jacobson said. “Red Deer Forensic Identification Unit is assisting in the investigation.”

If anyone has any information on this incident, please contact the Didsbury RCMP at 403-335-3382.

Theft of a snowboard

Sometime overnight between January 8 and 9, a snowboard was stolen from the front yard of a residence on 18 Avenue in Didsbury.

“The snowboard is described as adult-sized, black and blue, with a panda bear on top,” said Sgt. Jacobson. “It had orange bindings.”

The matter is still under investigation. If anyone has any information on this incident, please contact the Didsbury RCMP at 403-335-3382.
