“Guns were targeted in this break and enter. Every gun owner should take all precautions to secure their firearms and should refrain from discussing locations and details of their guns with others.”

She adds one of the firearms was located yesterday (Dec.15) by a member of the public, hidden in some garbage in an alleyway. Cooper says this may have been an attempt to hide the firearm for future use.

If you have any information about this case you’re asked to call the RCMP at (250)561-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477.
