Security footage shows the suspect hopping through the window. He then heads to the counter and starts putting items in a red plastic bag. He then heads to the glass case with hundreds of dollars of cards and starts ripping the door off. Once open the suspect grabs the cards and puts them in a black backpack. He then gathers all his bags with the stolen items and leaves through the front door.

RCMP are looking for a male suspect, possibly in his early to mid 30s. RCMP say he was wearing a grey hoodie and gloves and was carrying a red backpack at the time of the break-in.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at (250)561-3300.
